I grew up in Hemet, California, on a Thoroughbred horse ranch. I then lived in Hawaii (sea level) for twenty years before finally moving to Jackson Hole, Wyoming (6237 feet above sea level, oxygen tank optional).

Being fortunate enough to extensively travel the world, my time exploring the cultures, architecture and artwork in over 100 countries has given me an international perspective to design; borrowing inspiration from different cultures and continents and combining them in original and eclectic ways is a hallmark of my work.

I still live at the base of the Tetons with my imported British husband Ron, and my Hungarian Vizsla, Arazi the Wonder Dog.
