SKILLS AND THOUGHTS
I can design quilts and cross-stitch portraits. In addition to design I quilt, cross stitch, knit and sew. I love animals of “most” kinds (no snakes or bees, please!). I love to ride horses and I helped hand raise a set of twin lambs when their mother was unable to do so. I am passionate about music and theater. I love to sing and play the piano. My dream job would be working as an administrator in the arts in Maine. The arts are an important part of my life, and I want to ensure that future generations understand their importance as well.
