About Me

I was born in a quaint Gulf Coast town, just outside of Biloxi, Mississippi. I spent a large portion of my childhood running around barefoot on the sandy beach. Thereafter I grew up in New Orleans - the south’s dynamic cultural Mecca, and also spent many lovely days with my grandparents in Shreveport/Bossier. I am a published writer, professional artist, art photographer and occasional nighttime stargazer. I am published online as well as in national cuisine magazines. One magazine is the fun, food filled Louisiana Cookin', based in the antique French Quarter. In my spare time I like to bake breads and pastries - my favorites to make are french bread, cinnamon rolls and cream puffs. I run, quite possibly, the only Evergreen Tree Rescue, saving several baby evergreens so far. One spruce is now over 25 feet tall! Since being handed down the fine art of sewing skills, I greatly enjoy every avenue of the fashion world. I also raise two beautiful Siberian Huskies with my husband Scott. Together we have also happily raised their family for 4 consecutive generations. I attempt to raise honey bees, or should I say they tolerate me and stay around and share their delightful baby formula or bka honey with me. I can also be found along south Arkansas streams and creeks with tape recorder and camera in hand patiently awaiting the rare presence of the Ivory Billed Woodpecker. Although I always happily settle for a mother duck with ducklings, a hawk, butterfly, or anything else nature might throw my way. There - now you know a little about me anyway!
