Describe something you remember hanging on the wall in your home growing up:

I remember my parents coming back from Korea with 4 incredible folk art pieces — a series of hand embroidered birds. They were all the same size framed, arranged and hung on a large wall with two above and two below. I would rearrange them in different orders and see if my parents would notice.

They never did, it was fun.

What is your favorite building in Utah?

Oh we have some many beautiful buildings in Utah! I wish they would stop tearing them down! My very favorite no longer exists, Bill and Nada’s Cafe. I also love the Crane Building, The Walker Building, Patrick Dry Goods Building …mostly aged buildings strike my fancy.

What is the most memorable exhibit you’ve seen recently

Fallen Fruit at the Salt Lake Art Center or any Gallery Stroll night at Copper Palate Press — it’s always a good time there.
