Related Work
In addition to being an experienced dressmaker, I also am a performer, and
consultant for technology in the arts, which includes designing
websites. I enjoy cooking, drawing, gardening, and caring for animals. My
husband and I recently relocated, at least parttime for now, to Equinunk,
PA, where we can be closer to nature.
