I love words, image-making, animals and art. That isn’t unusual, nor is my crush on the natural world. My original education was in the fine arts, though I wound up drawing and painting only occasionally over the course of my adult life. Very little of my paid work after age 25 involved art. Midway through, however, I started to see animals in a different light. That led to fresh perceptions of the natural world as well. Zen calligraphy also fascinated me. Eventually, after leaving a long-held job, I began to explore Western calligraphy and found that I loved the individual gesture of the modern style. That's become my preference.
It’s been increasingly important to engage my values as mindfully as possible. That’s meant combining innate skills with my original education and professional experience with publications and design in support of all sentient life. It's been my great pleasure to meet many like-minded people along the way. 🍒
