~ My Studio ~


 
  T
his is my Studio and also my home. It is a small one bedroom unit located under a garage. My parents live right next door, together with two dogs and a parrot. I have a magnificent view out my kitchen window, and in less than an hour I can drive to the heart of San Francisco to the south, or to the Pacific ocean to the west. Wildlife is never far away and daily I am visited by deer, racoon, squirrels, quail or wild rabbits. The skunks come out at night and my parents dogs have been sprayed on several occasions! Not so pleasant. There are also mountain
lions in the area, as well as rattlesnakes and scorpions though Iv'e never had the opportunity to actually see any one of these, and frankly I'm not so sure I want to!

I have a tiny little garden right outside my front door, a couple of plum trees and a little deck
where I can sit and relax. I am surrounded by rolling hills, redwood forests, and the ocean is
within a half hour drive away!
Once I get started on a portrait, I find it really hard to quit so I often work late into the night


The view from my kitchen window.

A curious deer peeks through my front gate.
