Welcome to my website:
I’m an award-winning and commercially published writer and artist. My compelling action is in creating personal narratives with universal and inspiring themes. I’m a memorable speaker through the art and craft of true, personal storytelling, to online and live audiences. In tandem, I’m a Poet-in-Residence in schools with Silvermine Art Partners.

Art
My  fine art: I’m currently working in photography, media arts, video essays, book arts, and the occasional monotype. With a fine art career spanning half a century, I’ve worked in personal narratives examining identity, love and relationships, coming of age, self-acceptance, and transformation. I get bored easily so I have a lot of projects going at the same time.

Three of my lithographs and engravings were recently juried into the “Responding to the Overturn of ROE V WADE Anthropology of Motherhood” virtual exhibition. You can view this powerful artist call to action here. I am honored to have my art included. While I created the prints several years ago, their powerful messages resonate today.
