More about me

As a senior, I found that life still has unexpected surprises. Around age 50, my hobby- cartooning and realistic illustration-became a full-time career. My work is now published internationally in books, magazines and used in advertising campaigns.

For relaxation, my husband and I have a houseboat (actually a floating home) and from that we launch our little 'dinghy' to explore the back bays of South Jersey.

I love animals, and am the proud adoptive mother of numerous baby turtles born outside in our garden. We also have water turtles. Most of the turtles have been rescued from problems and injuries created by encroaching development. In the Northeast, they seem to have a compulsion to build on every square inch of land.

EONS is a great site, and I appreciate being part of this place where we can jest and frolic and even cry together----we who've "been there and done that" have something others rarely recognize or may not respect. With age comes wisdom, not that everyone notices, of course. Or maybe I'm just an old geezer. (geezette?)

    Thanks your kind words after visiting my profile. I'm glad you enjoyed your visit. We lived in NJ for half our lives. First Rutherford, then Hazlet and Monroe Twp. I love turtles, and I have quite a collection. In fact i was bugging my wife to get one until we got our kitties. As you can tell by now I'm hooked on them. Your profile looks great it reflects who you are.

    Very warm and honest profile. I understand the photo of the turtles after reading your profile. It speaks of a kind and gentle soul. Blessings always!
