I had the pleasure of meeting Doug Zanger, an exceptional man, writer, involved in The Life Portlandic and Exceptional Women NW Presenter, pdx.fm fella, blogger, producer, voice actor, teacher, proud husband + dad. He’s involved in a fascinating project he launched, collecting and cataloguing the stories of exceptional women throughout the Pacific Northwest. The site says:

Exceptional Women NW is an exploration of achievement, led by women, in Portland, the state of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. We highlight leaders in business & social causes, entrepreneurs, writers, bloggers, artists, designers, free spirits — any woman — anywhere in our area, making a positive impact. These 30-minute conversations celebrate stories of hope, inspiration and success in all walks of life.

Doug interviewed me on pdx.fm and our conversation is posted on Exceptional Women Northwest. We had a great time recalling my path as an artist and where I am today. I love opportunities like this because it gives me a moment to pause and recognize how I’ve grown as an artist and where I’m headed now.
