Making #Ceramics, #Paintings and #Music in the woodlands of Asheville, NC. Former dance therapist & university admin inspired by nature, imagination, and the AVL community. Here’s what I worked hard for: M.A., M.B.A. 42 years #sober.
I’m thrilled that my fanciful Hippo (and Bird!) image was featured in the Laurel of Asheville’s article about the Come to Leicester Art Tour 8-15 & 16. #Blueskypotters #BlueskyArts #Artists #Ceramics #CometoLeicester
It was a lovely time visiting with a friend, then in evening had an accident walking dogs when other dog walker approached. I was dragged downhill on the steep and rocky road 10 feet. Patched up by kind people at urgent care. Glad no apparent fractures. Still love my dogs. Doc said I’m tough.

#winterolympics2026 France’s Fournier Beaudry /Cizeron were a pleasure to watch perform, two magnificent bodies that performed as one in exquisite ice dance wearing light sea green designer costumes to refined tracks from “Whales.” IMO Zingas/Kolesnik of USA were next best overall, and placed 5th.
Come hear the Asheville Community Band perform on Sunday 12-14-25. Live music is uplifting!
We have a little snow here in the Appalachians. What a mess! But the view is widening.
