I am a bit of a Renaissance person - an artist, crafter, builder, pc tech, hiker, wife & mother. I enjoy creating things and/or figuring out what makes them work. I enjoy reading fantasy or Science Fiction and get much inspiration from what I read.

I believe very strongly in community service and have been a fulltime school volunteer, PTA president, charity organizer, Girl Scout leader/trainer and community computer/software trainer. I get enormous satisfaction from helping others and sharing my knowledge as needed.

My studio is located in my Florida home which is in a grove of oak trees, hence the name. I am very happy to finally have the time to focus on this passion as well.
