Even the most well-managed art studio needs a consistent voice of reason. In this case that would be me, the bookkeeper. In my world of columns of numbers and spreadsheets, the presence of huge abstract paintings and conversations about the power of magenta ink add some welcome dimension to my day.

I love the tranquil life…reading a good book, a leisurely walk along the beach, and spending quality time with interesting people—though not necessarily all at the same time.

I get a genuine sense of satisfaction out of providing this creative and growing business with a sense of reason in its business practices. And I know it’s appreciated.
