I wear many hats:

Mother; Grandmother; Great Grandmother; Retired Math and Physics Teacher; Musician (composer/performer); Photographer; Artist (drawings and graphics); Published Poet; Progressive Activist (including environmental activism)

My creative philosophy is that thought-provoking, easy to understand art can expand the horizon of the listener,viewer or reader. At the same time, it helps the artist to get her thoughts and emotions across to a wider audience. In a world where attention-span is short and distractions abound, art has tough competition. Nevertheless, it remains an extremely important tool for both, reflecting upon, and shaping our lives. In addition, music can reach across language barriers and culureal differences to bring good vibes to everyone.
