Life

After Gap I went to Va Tech and studied studio art, concentrating in sculpture and drawing, but while I was there I was recruted to be a hairdresser/apprentice. I left Blacksburg with a degree and a state cosmetology license. I moved to the Washington, D.C. area in Nov. of 1988.
Since art doesn't easily provide a reasonable income, I decided to stick with the hairdressing for the money and do art for fun, until another opportunity presented itself.
I worked in some pretty exclusive salons and eventually went into business with a friend. We had a little shop on the canal in Georgetown. I had a really good time with this business, catering to some pretty fancy folks and even a few celebrities!
In 1994 I reconnected with an old friend I had met on...Expand for more
a visit to Tech (post graduation) and he is now my husband. His name is Gordon Saunders and he's from Smithfield, VA. We married in 1997, the next year bought a little house in Arlington, and in 1999 I left my shop in Georgtown to open a customized ceramic tile business,out of my home, and to begin working on a family. The tile business was going pretty well, but then I got pregnant in Dec. of 2000 and tremendously scaled back. Now, I am mostly a stay at home Mom to our daughter, Gillian (pronounced "Jillian").I do work part-time taking an occational commission for artwork or interior design. Gillie is 3 1/2 years old.
We left Arlington in March 2004 and moved to Richmond, VA to be closer to family, and we've been busy working on the new house.
So that's where I am. I'm very happy with life. I love to travel and visit friends in the states and in Europe.
