Please write. Advice, historical research and its references are free. I travel to Miniatures Shows and am active in promoting the Aesthetic Movement in all media.
I love all things Victorian and have devoted much of my study and spare time to understanding what drove its Aesthetics. In many ways its heart was the Aesthetic Movement, which swept the United States and England in the latter decades of the Nineteenth Century.

I enjoy hiking in my spare time and many of my pieces are directly influenced by these hikes in nature. I love recreating plants and wildlife in my work.
