Michigan summers are a highlight, with plenty of time spent relaxing on the beach or lake side, enjoying an outdoor concert, exploring new towns, and traveling around the state. During the winter months, you can find me at the gym, in my art studio, or planning my next vacation. I'm an avid reader and love being part of a book club. Animals hold a special place in my heart, I adopted two cats from my local animal shelter, where I volunteer. I'm passionate about art- I paint pet portraits using acrylics and oils, and I’ve been doing this for about 8 years. I'm always eager to explore new experiences, as they make life exciting and fulfilling!
