* In my spare time (lol!), I love to garden, travel, anything horse-related, and spend time with my husband (Steve) and the little cat factory we ended up adopting during Covid — no worries; we finally caught Mama after nearly two years (everyone else is ‘fixed’) so the little family ended up at nine total. They are sweet and kind to each other — we’ve learned more about cat culture than we ever thought imaginable, and believe it or not — there are some benefits to having a little cat colony on the property. 

PS  After spending four decades navigating the worlds of photography and writing, I’ve embraced the richness of my diverse passions and talents. Rather than confining myself to a single niche, I’ve found joy in launching a general store where I can freely explore and express the full spectrum of my creative interests. Join me on this journey of discovery as I create a diverse line of products reflecting my love for traditional and digital image creation, cutting-edge post-production tools, and AI.
