I have always had a passion to create. For as long as I can remember I have loved to draw and paint. I still do. It was in high school that I became deeply interested in science, as well. That interest has continued to the present day, especially in the environmental and life sciences. I began to write during college, mostly scientific and technical papers, and then horticultural articles later, during my career in Horticulture and Garden Design. To this day my passion to create remains strong. I write every day and paint as often as I am able, and I read continuously to learn and stay abreast of information and developments in the life sciences.
