There is nothing like a change, a bad change, in financial security to force you to take that first scary step of starting a business. An expensive divorce, Katrina,
and other factors coalesced into my own personal perfect storm.

For 30 years I had stored up diverse business ideas,illustrations, artwork, poetry, writings but now it was time to open the file drawers and give birth to something real.. or become a bag lady.

I grew up in food obsessed New Orleans, attended The Boston Museum School and The New York Restaurant School. Food and Art. I’m extremely short which accounts for my Napoleon complex.

I feel lucky to be living at a time where I can connect with the world digitally.

I am crazy for pugs but allergic so i have to be content with painting them or scaring pug owners walking their dogs with my enthusiasm.
