A Sorta Bio

I fell in love with the Middle Ages during the 6th grade thanks to my teacher, Heather. She taught a unit on Medieval Europe and took us to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to see the Arms & Armor hall and to the Cloisters, which is as close as you can get to a real castle in NYC.

​

I was already in love with art by then, but for reasons I won't go into, I didn't go to art school and, instead, got a handful of degrees in other things. Nevertheless, I continued to dabble on the side until the COVID pandemic put the world on hold. Suddenly, I had loads of time to fill. A few years later and here I am.

Some Random Things About Me

• When it's migration season, you'll find me out birding almost every morning.

• I lived abroad for many years and speak fluent Spanish.

• I'm a life-long Yankees fan and one of those rare beings, an American soccer fan.
