Miki (that's my childhood nick-name) doing my best to win a bubble blowing contest at my friend Marilyn's birthday-1975
1. Since I was 10, I can remember wanting to be an Interior Designer. I met one at my friend Leslie-Ann’s and was smitten from that point on. It would be over 25 years, 2 marriages and 2 grown kids later that I would graduate with a Degree in Applied Design from Kwantlen. It was one of the proudest personal moments of my life. It took a long time to reach that goal...almost 30 years.
2. My parents have known each all of their lives, and have been married since they were 19. I feel fortunate for that.

3. My favorite cities are Amsterdam, Paris and New York. In Amsterdam it’s Vondelpark and biking into the city from Badhoefdorf (near Schipol Airport). Paris; walking the Seine, and eating! New York city; Bryant Park, and taking in a Broadway Show after lunch at Carmines.

Those little palm flowers would pollinate, and get everywhere, so Brian had to climb up to chop them off a couple of times a year.

I am so excited that I have found your blog. I love to look at renderings and I find that you have such beautiful ones. I was rendering all day yesterday and have prismacolor marker stains all over my hands, I am sure you can relate.
