I am a designer/artist. I love to paint abstract art. My favorite medium is encaustics which is a combination of oil paints and wax. I love to create paintings with lots of texture. In my day job I manager a group of creative textile designers. We design artwork for women's apparel. Besides my art, I am a mom to 4 super kids. Two teenagers are avid swimmers. . One is married with the cutest daughter and son in the world. My oldest son is married, working on his 2nd Phd. and my only complaint is he doesn't visit enough. I am married to a super great guy. He loves home improvement projects, so I am manual labor any weekend he can get my attention.
