Who I am: Sketcher and writer, keeper of notebooks. Obsessed with illustrated journals as an art form and record of my experience. 

Habitual observer.

Voracious reader.

Graceful on paper, clumsy in person.

Collector of quotations and odd bits and pieces.

Spiritually open, but not religious.

Sometimes painfully introverted.

Eternally hopeful.

Got an Art (capital A) degree in college but have taught myself to see.

Work days in a cubicle to pay the bills.

Work nights and weekends to make a life worth living.
