About me... currently I am a Vice President and Portfolio Manager in Commercial Lending for a large National Bank. After 34 years in the business I look forward to taking early retirement in 3 years and embarking on a whole new life following my true love and passion full time ~ photography!
I have always had a creative spirit and enjoy the company of artists in every form, free souls and original thinkers! I love the ocean and could never move away. I am pulled by the water! I have naturally curly/wavy hair, I just let dry "au natural". I have a sarcastic and good sense of humor. My laugh is boisterous and loud. I don't hold back! I love coffee and anything with sugar! Love, love, love my sugar! I love to garden and get a thrill watching my flowers as they slowly grow each season. I am constantly moving and adding to my gardens! I make jam, spaghetti sauce, relish, love to bake but hate to cook. Kind of contradictory wouldn't you say? We compost, recycle and try to do our best to help the environment! I value my close friends, come from a very large extended family and truly love the precious time spent with them all! There is never enough! Originally from Connecticut, followed by a number of years in Canada, then several towns here and there in Massachusetts I have been fortunate enough to finally settle on Cape Cod for the past 20+ years. Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and beautiful New England scenery has helped to inspire the love I have always had for photography. Being an avid gardener I truly appreciate beautiful landscapes, flowers, birds, sunsets and the environment! Travels within the United States and beyond have afforded me opportunities to take some fabulous photos! My husband and I have been together for over 20 years. Our daughter 27 is married & they are expecting their first child this summer. Our son lives with his girlfriend & they too are expecting their first child this summer. Whoa... two grandchildren all at once... excited but still trying to absorb it all! We are semi-empty nesters... we lose our children to gain my 86 year old mother! Healthy and spry she still teaches & inspires me on many levels! Last but not least I can't forget my two dogs! Brady our almost four year old yellow lab and Virgil our six year old pug we rescued in September 2011.
