I am the wife and partner of the most incredible man, the mother of four brilliant and beautiful children, the teacher to the sweetest and most interesting children, and the owner of a satisfying art glass business.

I live in the Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina with my wonderful family, four dogs, three cats, seven chickens and countless fish (I don’t really know how to credit the Madagascar cockroaches — they multiply too fast).

I love to handcraft glass items, read compelling fiction and nonfiction, sing and make music, create tasty concoctions, and laugh with friends and family.
