About Me


This site is dedicated to all my fellow artists and friends that I have had the honor of meeting and working with over the years, and to all of you whom I have yet to meet. I am a performer and theatre artist, a dancer, a singer. I speak Swedish fluently. It was the first language I spoke as a wee toddler.I am a proud hapa, proud mother, and happily married to a hapa, which makes my kids superhapas!!!!I like a good laugh; I like quiche; I like the sun, I like lösgodis and gräddbullar.... I love my kids, I love rehearsing, I love the process, I love forward motion, I love hula, I love creativity.... Keep your eyes on this site as I will add some videoclips & more photos of all of us in the coming weeks. I am slowly tracking down various clips from years past. NEW VIDEOS: Molon Labe! & check out my friend Shy Theerakulstit's ASIANS: The Asian response to Asian responders. Funny Stuff! Newest news: I will be shooting in London in March 2008 - a film called RAPTURE. I am very excited and happy! We just did KO'OLAU-A TRUE STORY OF KAUA'I.. at the Chocolate Factory, LIC, Queens.
