You are The Star

Hope, expectation, Bright promises.

The Star is one of the great cards of faith, dreams realised

The Star is a card that looks to the future. It does not predict any immediate or powerful change, but it does predict hope and healing. This card suggests clarity of vision, spiritual insight. And, most importantly, that unexpected help will be coming, with water to quench your thirst, with a guiding light to the future. They might say you're a dreamer, but you're not the only one.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

Life has switched me back and forth between all kinds of creative dishes - sculpture and painting with my hubs - Bryan and other "Lesser Unknown God" folk, making jewelry and, performance and writing with Afterglow, The LatTer, Lasher 13, Silence, and most recently in great depth, with much love from 2000-2007 - The Lost Patrol (NYC).I have met many interesting people through the past 20 years in music, and made some amazing friends, as well as having learned much from these brilliant hearts. My life has been wonderfully colored in both tints and shades by their touch and I am thankful for having known them.As many folks have been inquiring - I cannot say that I will not write or sing again, but for now the process of exposing myself through music must hibernate. I have experienced the death of a belief within the last musical project I dedicated myself to and put my family in second slot for. I also witnessed and partook in the sudden betrayal of artisanship which had turned my heart, as well as other's upside down. One cannot "go on with the show" if one is dying inside. Living in a creative group where everyone's vision is not fulfilled is fair to no one. I pray for clarity and heartfelt understanding of this from my former colleagues and all those who helped The Lost Patrol, with wishes for their desired levels of acceptance and success to be ultimately garnered.Over the past 15 years, I have found great joy in teaching art and art history as well as the " me me me" episodes of shows, tours, and rock and roll drama. Sharing the information of our beautiful and tumultuous past is in greater need now more so than ever.

The essence of being an artist is simply that: to be an artist - to create art. I've never felt it necessary to allow the creation of a facade of a personality, a specific mode of dress ("Oh c'mon -...
