Past, Future and the Ever Present Now.
I wasn't one of those people who had a Life plan
and set out to accomplish it.
My life seemed to unfold from choices I made based on
the events at hand and my emotional psychological “reality” of who I was
at the time.
Still, how I turned out ~ am turning out ~ is not really a surprise.
I am the creative product of a creative beginning:
a family of makers.
Some of my favorite kinds of people...
The makers of things.

A liberal arts education worked well for me exposing me to diverse subjects. I was enriched by the humanities...our connections to each other as humans living and creating here on Earth.
Educated I was...schools spanning geographical areas from New York and Connecticut to Puerto Rico and California. Saturated with the arts and years in the teaching field, I completed a Masters Degree in Curriculum Design culminating with a thesis entitled, “Bringing the Creative Heart to Education.” My career in alternative education, spanning a few decades, allowed me to flourish with innovative approaches for children and adults, and nourished my own growth and directions. And always and still, my students and creative cohorts teach me.
I have studied and apprenticed with a variety of leaders/teachers/explorers in the fields of psychology, child development, and meditation. My own explorations in the arts have included movement and dance, music and sound, theater and improvisation, and many different visual arts.
My political, social, and environmental activism has spurred me to create projects with puppetry, street theater and "living cartoons" (see Activism with a Kick in menu) that educate, excite and support the important movements and messages of our times.
What a rich and varied life I lead.
How grateful I am to be Here and to have opportunities to Connect...
and to Create...... Gotta Do It!
