I came to Costa Rica at the age of 23 and have lived here for 34 years. I love nature, gardening, surfing, art and teaching. I never realized how much I love teaching but in all of the businesses I have created over the years I worked with Costa Rican women. It has enriched my life and enabled my business as well as giving them a way to make their own lives better. I love this country and the friendships made here spanning decades. My newest projects are painting canvas bags and painting canvas rugs. I love creating a unique design for a rug and watching a concept come to fruition. The best part is seeing it in it's new home! I also love to dream and work and watch how the universe responds to my dreams. It's a thought world, and I love to imagine, then focus and my dreams come to fruition just like a newly designed canvas rug.
