Hobbies
Traveling and outdoor activities with my husband and our two daughters. We love hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains and plan a trip there at least once a year. I also work part-time (when my schedule allows it) at a local art gallery owned by a friend of mine. I collaborate with local artists in showcasing and selling their art. The gallery space includes a framing shop so I also do custom framing for artists and customers.
