The things I like most about the Sarasota/Manatee area

Still a small town, easy to get around (even in season if you know the back roads and short cuts), lots of nice people...the rest I regard as nature's oddities and make them characters in my stories and scripts. (As Kafka said, "We too have weapons." LOL)

My Interests & Hobbies

Photography, movies, music, altered and mixed media art especially using reclaimed materials in unusual ways, my pets, animal and child welfare (thank you American Humane for focusing on both), real estate (yes, even now!), interior design, really hot cars.

My Favorite Local Restaurant

Rosebuds (down south in Osprey, not the one that keeps saying it's coming to Cattleman Rd...)

My Favorite Place to Experience the area the Way Locals Do

I'm a little different; love the ranchlands out east, especially for shooting pictures

My Favorite Local Event(s)

More of a non-events girl, not crazy for crowds unless I have the safety of a camera between me and them.

How I heard about AnythingArts.com

Did a story on Christine Alexander and the comedy troupe at the Backlot (may it rest in peace) and Christine and I became gal pals.
