Contemporary Diva

Love and do what you will

About Me

Opera singer, painter, crazy, goofy, creature creating, diva who likes a challenge.
"I will dance with you past midnight,
When the hour is cloaked in black.
I will lead you into the dawn,
With the night and the moon on our back.
I will encircle your beauty in my arms
And we will glide from shore to sea.
I will lift you and sway you and lead you.
And yet, you will be master of me."
[Danza]-Unknown
"Where you used to be,there is a hole in the world,
which I find myself constantly walking around
in the daytime, and falling into at night"
-Edna St. Vincent Millay
"It is not art but failure to achieve it
that drives one mad"-Landis
"Her life with others not longer interests him.
He wants only her stalking beauty,
her theatre of expressions, he wants the minute and
secret reflection between them,
the depth of field minimal, their foreigness
intimate like two pages of a closed book"
- The English Patient
