My life centers around family, art and friends. I am a Geordie (from the northeast of England) who loves a good cup of tea, a good curry, a good laugh, and creating artistic mischief on a daily basis if I can. I am co-curator of an art gallery my friend and I started in a local public restroom called the ChamberPot Gallery in our village. I enjoy writing my family diary, sketchbook/journal, blogging, hanging out with my adult kids, taking long walks with hubby and our dog,hanging out with friends, photographing, volunteering for the Yellow Springs Arts council, our dog, going to the movies, eating curries (oops did I mention that already LOL).
