I am originally from TX, but relocated to the PNW in 2012. Moving to this area has been the best decision my husband and I have ever made! We love everything Washington has to offer especially the infinite choices of hiking and backpacking trails. I am an artist and become inspired to create when surrounded by nature. Often times I use my hikes to find photographic references to later use as inspiration for my drawings and paintings. When I am out on the trails, it's a guarantee that I have at least one camera with me, and possibly even a small sketchbook.
