MY CURIOSITY + FASCINATION WITH PEOPLE DRIVES HOW I EXPERIENCE THE WORLD {THAT PLUS CHEESE, CHOCOLATE, AND WINE}.

 
 

I have learned so much about myself and the world traveling. Some of my best experiences have sprung from getting lost. Ending up somewhere I did not plan on being. Then discovering at the end of the day that perhaps I ended up exactly where I needed to be

The people and experiences across 26 countries have influenced me greatly, enriching my life and changing me in a variety of ways. Some I can pinpoint. Others I can't always put a finger on. But I do know that every time I venture out of my comfort zone and surround myself with something new, I stretch. I grow. I face challenges. I conquer fears. And in the end, these collective moments teach me that I am capable of so much more than I ever thought possible.  

As I spent nearly an entire year traveling on an artist sabbatical and self-discovery journey, I figured out that to me, it was so much more than simply presenting images. I rediscovered my passion for writing and found my voice in combining my words and imagery to tell a richer story. 

If you take a moment to click through the link below, you'll be connected with my Wanderlust Gallery where you can view and order fine art prints of my international destinations.

You can find some mini stories on my instagram feed here that will give some insight into the big picture of my traveling adventures. 

I have also started on some personal book projects that will include imagery and words together to document my experiences in numerous cultures as I got to know myself through solo travel after the loss of my husband and business partner in 2016.
