About Me

When I was 13 years old, I made my first
and last trip to Hope Farm
-- a place that was visited by tragedy in 1926
and a place where the ghost of a sad young woman
still walks.

I am a: writer, paranormal researcher, member of the American Ghost Society, Yoga Teacher, Addiction Recovery Advocate, Artist, Lawyer (Seriously...I'm not kidding.) I am not currently practicing law because I realized (just in time) that it was killing my soul.
As I mentioned previously, I am an artist. I design and create primitive sculptures from recycled cloth and paper, reclaimed wood and architectural elements, paint and other treasures often referred to by the unenlightened as "junk". Some of my Primitive Collection is pictured below:
