I live in North Portland, Oregon in a hundred year old house with the love of my life–my partner AdRi, an elderly grandma cat, a blind dog, and a cat with no tail. We are a very special household.
I am an overachiever. There I said it. I admit it. Here at Lelo Homemade I journal my thoughts on creativity, home arts and life, but professionally, I’m an award winning creative consultant.I also write the gardening column in Oregon's statewide LGBTQ news magazine, Just Out (8 months of the year).
I create every day. Sometimes I document it here, sometimes it shows up in my personal writing or artwork, and a lot of times it manifests in the work I do for clients. This creative engine is what drives me, inspires me, and I am inspired by…
- nature
- the Northwest
- muralists
- stone stackers
- musicians
- do-gooders
- rabble rousers
- those who speak up
- coloring outside the lines
- cage rattlers
- people who say please and thank you
- givers
- true love
- bodies of water
- finding something to be grateful for every day
- you.
