The Writer
“I love interviewing people and drawing out their amazing stories. I make a draft and have them check it for accuracy. Sometimes they change their minds about sharing certain personal information. That’s all right. What’s important is they feel comfortable with what they have shared. Every life story after all is precious and may be the push that others need to explore and try something different.”

“I love art. I love painting. I started with lead pencil and charcoal. It has only been 3 years since I started with watercolor painting. It is scary and it requires a lot of confidence. True watercolor cannot be controlled nor manipulated, and that is where its beauty lies. As an artist, I have developed a healing relationship with watercolor. It has accompanied me in my own self-discovery and healing. “
