Hey there! During these trying times of the COVID-19 virus, I decided to start posting videos on my youtube channel about what it means to be an artist and how to survive. We are all cooped up and getting bored so I decided to share creative projects, jewelry tutorials, and general creative activity from my Ferndale, Michigan studio. This is the first video in my series and I hope to keep producing more and more. Before the virus, I was a busy real estate and commercial photo

Either that or I just decided to start trying new things and be a grown up. I suddenly liked red wine and started trying seafood. Ok, it was just fish and chips, but it was a start. Then I ordered fish that was broiled at a restaurant. I liked it. And so my entire eating life started to change. Then I met my hus
