Welcome!

I'm an artist who loves to travel to places I consider magical - uncommonly beautiful spots exuding a certain power and mystery; places of ancient mystical civilizations, echoing a time when the Earth's energies were pure.

Most of my traveling I do alone; I travel with people, too, but I find traveling solo to be a liberating experience which lifts me out of the confines of my day to day identity and beliefs about what is possible in life.

Although intended for any travel lover, I hope this site inspires other women to venture out alone as there is undeniable beauty and magic on the Earth just waiting to be enjoyed.

I maintain 2 Sites. The first: Magical Places, is a photo exploration of places I have travelled.

The second is my personal Page - My Sanctuary, which you find below.

Contact me - I'd love to hear from you!

Welcome to the Sanctuary... I've designed the Sanctuary as my personal site, as well as a place to relax after a long day. I invite you to browse the Gallery, explore the Inspirations, and enjoy the Humor. It's a balmy midsummer's eve 'neath moonlit skies...Slip off your shoes and enjoy the Sanctuary
