About Me

Mixed-media artist & poet, live & work in downtown la-la land, have a peculiar obsession with boxes and containers, can't stand lost dogs, love the smell of lavender & hardware stores, have been a housekeeper for an iconoclastic nobel prize winner, was a paramedic in the army, a middle school teacher who designed the only women's studies curriculum for middle-school in California, have been a caterer and personal chef, and can't believe the good fortune I have in getting to live my life.
