About Me
Born in Staunton, Virginia I was raised by imaginative parents (my father, a film professor and a rock star, my mother a fine artist and innovative gardener) and surrounded by variously talented, innovative friends and creative personalities parading through my life at all stages. Being always in the wake and influence of these unique visions, quirkiness and passionate takes on life, I understood and became uniquely aware that art was everywhere, that we only have to remember to always take notice.
"Be with the moment. Be present."
“Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”
-Kurt Vonnegut
“Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.”
- Mary Lou Cook -
