My signature indicating my work. To many, it is simply the letter Y with a dot above. To me, it is perceived as a joyful person welcoming life with arms wide open. It’s all about perspective and perception.

Mom and Dad for your love and support. Ellen Braaten for patiently teaching me. My friends who encouraged and pushed me.
