Get To Know Me
Best way to spend a weekend
Working on a craft project with my husband and two sons no matter the art medium. Just that we are together "making" something that makes us each happy.
Favorite stress relievers
Glass blowing, exploring movement of hot glass and making something of it. In scuba diving when I reach peak buoyancy and can just relax and explore the beauty under the sea without a care in the world.
What are three items on your bucket list?
1. Scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef
2. Creating a piece of art in every imaginable art medium at least once in my life.
3. Returning to India with my family to show them where I lived as a child and let them see first hand the Taj Mahal so I can share the experience with them.
