I'm a mother, the best thing in my world, (they are 16 and 19). I'm married to a French guy and he's pretty fabulous too.

As a profession, I am a horticulturalist and work outside on private estates and farms in Massachusetts. I love being outside, in the elements, the plants, the bugs, the soil, the animals and pollinators! :)

I'm also a professional photographer, my website above.

I am influenced by clean design, fashion and the simple things in life. I enjoy taking photographs, (Lomo, digital, Polaroids, 35mm with old cameras I have) writing stories, drawing, painting, making little creative things whenever I get the chance.

Traveling to Europe specifically France and Italy, has been life changing for me.

Dark burgundy reds, dark brown and dark blues are my favorite colors. I don't care for pastels or primary colors at all - it probably explains why I don't enjoy ruffles and girlie stuff. I like plain or striped patterns. No flowery stuff, or "cutesy" anything for this girl! I am more of a tom-boy for absolute sure ~**

I plant many flowers and veggies in my garden, and am putting up a greenhouse as we speak! I enjoy this oasis.

I am a flea-market visitor. You never know what treasure you can find, and conversations you can have with people selling, I just love it.

LCD Soundsystem is my fav band, I also enjoy Noga Erez, Mikayla Geier, Queen, Prince, Van Halen, Clap your Hands and Say Yea, Italian Opera, Chopin, old country like Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn etc... I enjoy pretty much all music.

Amelie, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Science of Sleep, Valley Girl, The Royal Tennabaums, Peggy Sue Got Married, Raising Arizona, Catch me if you Can, Clueless, Legally Blonde, Crash, The Departed, The Incredibles, Life is Beautiful, Big Night and... the list goes on and on!

Pluribus, Handmaids Tale, Rick and Morty, White Lotus, Bobs Burger, Breaking Bad, Jeopardy, I also enjoy documentaries and nature shows.

Drawing, mono-print, journaling, cutting paper, I mean paper anything... I also enjoy letterpress, and do some basic sewing. Junk journaling, collage, pen and ink drawing on nice paper, doodling...
