Parting gift to the Tuckahoe Orthopaedics Physical Therapy department.  Many thanks to my fun coworkers and patients for all you taught me!  It was a good run!  The scene is the Richmond Monument Avenue 10K run and everyone's in perfect shape!


Wedding present for my college friend Mary and her husband, Scott.  Inspiration was a facebook album of photos from a St. Thomas honeymoon!

Marry Like a Champion Today



I was honored to participate in wedding preparations for Heather and Josh's wedding this summer, painting post-card sized watercolor scenes to mark the tables in the reception hall.  Heather, a friend from college, married Josh in true ND style in a mass at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart.  Their reception was complete with shamrocks on each table, the alma mater and a tunnel exit to a honeymoon in Ireland including the ND vs. Navy Dublin Classic!  Many blessings to the wonderful couple!

scenes ranged from the library to the grotto to Mendoza College of Business --
each place pertinent to Heather and Josh
a neat tradition...guests were invited to sign wine bottles, one to be opened each of the first 5 anniversaries
(not to worry, more wine to be purchased after 5 years!)

I was seated at the Pasquerilla East table, the dorm Heather and I lived in!
Go Pyros!
