About Me
I am a social worker turned artist. Many of my paintings depict Florida and its people. I had a brief bio here once, but lost it during the Blogster platform transitions, and my attempts at editing. These few meager lines are all you will see until all is right again.
P.S.: So far, all of my visitors have been great! Very pleasant and friendly, and I hope it stays this way. This has become my neighborhood, albeit a virtual one, with many 'neighbors' whom I feel I have come to know and love. Welcome!
