About Me

Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see,

and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.

My Shetland Sheep Dog is a friendly, shedding dog who loves running, playing with her Frisbee, and herding students.

I've just met you, but can we snuggle?

I'm soaking wet and want in!

There is something in the wind.

Pysanky

My father's family immigrated to the US from the boarder between the Ukraine and Russian in the early 1900s. I learned how to write Ukrainian Easter Eggs from an early age and now do so on a regular basis, mostly for personal pleasure, but occasionally on commission. I also run low cost workshops for individuals or groups who might be interested in learning the traditional craft either from a religious or crafting perspective.

Mix of traditional and modern designs.

Working space and different designs.
