“In my kitchen, I wield ingredients like a painter with a palette, crafting inventive dishes that are my culinary masterpieces. Each creation is a symphony of flavors, a canvas of innovation. Just as with my art, I revel in the boundless creativity that cooking offers, a true artist in the kitchen.”

She spent a long time searching for the “right medium” to explore her artistic talents. Her innovative works of art have attracted numerous awards and recognition including Best of Show in the exhibition Liberated Dreams, held at the Estense Castle in Ferrarra, Italy.

She enjoys outdoor life, in nature. She is an avid cyclist, golfer and was an avid downhill skier “before some health problems.” She states, “To be outside where I can enjoy the sun on my skin and commute with nature is where I really feel alive.”
