I am a full-time mother/visual artist married to a commercial fisherman and we all live in the Pacific Northwest. We homeschool our children and on occasion I have opportunities to teach others as well. I fluctuate wildly between tell-all moods and prudish privacy. I maintain an attitude that plain unadorned honesty is best while tending towards ornate language. I am filthy rich in friends who are doing really great work. I love good food, drink and talk. I take a lot of pictures.
All of that shows up here.
