I'm a visual artist--bodypainterand photographer. Drumming is something new for me but the passion for rhythm has been there since I was a teenager. My favorite drummer is Siva. Siva is the only god who carries a drum--bringing the world down with the beat and creating the world anew in rhythm. Though, I must say that I admire the drummer in DevotchKa quite a bit. Thank you Chris Kallini and Rodney Miller for teaching me the basics.I am on the board of Many Mouths One Stomach (http://www.manymouths.org/about.html) responsible for facilitating Tucson's All Souls Procession--a non-motorized parade celebrating the passing of souls drawing thousands of participants and audience members (http://allsoulsprocession.org/home.html).I have an obsession with self-portraits and have been indulging in this since I was 12. Now, it takes the form of painting myself or having fun with bodysuits. It's a great self-reflection study, visual journal.I enjoy being an artist and LOVE collaborating with other artists. I prefer genuine, real interaction, honesty, communication, and those who can be upfront about who they are. I don't like games, but I sure do like to be playful--I love to laugh. Make me laugh and you may have a friend for life. A sense of humor is the key to inner balance. My lack of inner peace (or balance) drives me to create art--paint, drum and photograph.I follow astrology avidly--raised with it from the moment I was born and continue to be taught by my mother and other great astrological teachers. It's but one of many lenses I use to arrive at some truth of the matter.I really, REALLY enjoy shooting video and photographs of my friends being their natural selves or performing. I'm good at it.I was born in the '60s to a mother who is an artist... She was friends with other artists and musicians. That landed me in the arms of Pete Seger who used to sing to me when I was a babe. Also in the arms of Wes Craven, who baby sat me. It seems those influences took...'cause now I'm a lover of musicians and have a passion for film making.
