About me

Digital/comms professional since 2000. Wife since 2003. Mother since 2011. Sporadic personal website keeper-upper since 2018. More? 40-something night owl who loves hoppy beers and games with friends but doesn’t hang out with friends often enough.

Interests: Making lists of things (see: the majority of this website’s content), good beer, listening to music (mostly drum&bass/jungle, house, downtempo/lo-fi, jazz, hip-hop), collecting vinyl records, playing and running a pinball league, tabletop board games, Legos, disc golf, astronomy, bird watching, contributing to iNaturalist, and watching MST3k reruns and DJs on Twitch.

About this website

Created for me and all of my lists. See my homepage for my IndieWeb thoughts. I’m running the SemPress theme on WordPress but don’t have all the IndieWeb webmention goodies baked in yet. Debating with federating it but haven’t decided yet. As noted, it’s a work in progress. Yep, it looks like a mid-2000s blog and I like it that way!

About the website background image

hand drawn botanical illustration of a long leafy orchid with many purple blooms poking out of itBotanical illustration is hobby that I haven’t had time to practice much since the early 2010s. Back then there was a botanist at the museum where I work who studied orchids. He would occasionally bring me a beautiful specimen from their research greenhouse so I could take it home over the weekend and paint it. (Well, actually draw it with watercolor pencils and ink.) This is a Trichoglottus brachiata.The original still hangs in my office.

Here’s a more recent orchid piece that also details my process.
