Retired nurse. My biggest interests are Tibetan Buddhism and animal rescue / care.

Hi, I am 63 going on 16, love animals, the outdoors and exploring other cultures. I have lived overseas a lot of my life and hope to be traveling again soon. I have spent the last 24 years intensely involved in a project to preserve the sacred texts and art of the Tibetan Buddhist culture and it has been rewarding beyond words. The opportunity to help preserve a living wisdom tradition is a precious gift. I feel that Novica, by its work with artisans all over the world, is also helping to preserve wisdom traditions and that is what draws me to dealing with them.

What I like most about Novica:

I am new to Novica and I am really impressed with their selection, their quality, the artisans they work with, and how well they communicate. It is refreshing to see so much direct interaction with the artists and that they make us as customers feel in touch with them too. I think this kind of "personal" approach is very appealing and should keep newcomers returning for more! I look forward to being part of the Novica family for a long time.
