About Me

I'm an artist who owns my own gallery on Maui, Gallerie Ha. My art can be found in the Hawaii State Museum. I enjoy writing and producing plays in the local theater, but those are few and far between. What's absorbing my attention these days are music and poetry. I have a band called, Sing Sing Laugh Laugh (on myspace) for which I've written and sang songs about laughter. (I still can't believe it.) And I won the Maui Slam Poetry 2008 finals, qualifying me to compete in Madison, Wisconsin at the National Slam Poetry finals in August. (Oddly, the fear and accompanying nausea feels good.)I do my best to feel good and practice the Golden Rule. Feeling good means being free to express myself in a way that I am heard, to imagine, to create, to solve problems, laugh, play, work out, eat healthy and love passionately.To practice the Golden Rule also means being generous and empathic... and I think those qualities nourish my soul, and perhaps my intelligence too... who knows! In any case, I'm up for it.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Someone who will follow me around 24/7 with a video camera and record my every move... so I can watch myself and learn. I wanted to meet people who were improvisational and diverse... well, I am now surrounded by such people, and I love them!
