Summer was crazy but successful as I worked as a chef de’ cuisine at Tonglen Lake Lodge for the 3rd season. I managed to do a week as an Artist in Residence at the McKinley Chalet Resort. My days off consisted of hiking and camping and several music festivals. Fall was great and I went back to Kodiak where I work as a camp cook at a hunting camp. Now winter has set in Cantwell and I am back to skiing and working in the studio to build up my jewelry stock for next summer’s gallery sales.
