About Me


I sing so often that I often don't realize I am.
Poetry is a chronic obsession, and if I ever stopped writing, I think I'd explode.
My religion is love. It is the simplest and most complex, and if there must be purpose in life, I can find none greater.

I sing in a band called Forging Reverie . (Debut album released! See below.)
I'm learning to play guitar and I aim to learn piano someday.

Visual art is the other half of my life.
I've an Associates Degree, and I'm studying at Plymouth State University for a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree, both in Graphic Design.
I'm also a novice photographer.

I like the word "bohemian", but maybe that's a little pretentious. *smirk*

Honesty is important. : )
