And then the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk to bloom.
​~ Anais Nin

I have been writing and making art since I was a little girl. It is how I learned to speak.

A survivor of a difficult childhood, I wrote hundreds of poems that became my published poetic memoir The Blooming of the Lotus: a spiritual journey from trauma into light ​about the process of my own healing. Along with therapy, the writing was a powerful piece of my healing. 

​I believe I was given the gift of what happened to me, along with the gifts of deep spirituality and my creative abilities, so that I could turn around and give to others.

The earth is vital to me, as are the elements of nature. I live in western Massachusetts on an old farm bordering 2500 acres of state forest. It is here that I write and make art that continually leads me to who I truly am.
