I’m an artist! Raw materials don’t take long to morph into some expression of joy, or sorrow. Anger, or contentment. Art is emotion, a safe way to explore the hidden corners, the secret places we don’t want others to know about.
I trained as a musician and have taught music to over 700 students in 30 years. I draw, paint, sculpt, sew, embroider, crochet, macrame, tat, weave … I squish clay around, glue all kinds of stuff together, cut stuff up … I also dance on moonlit nights when the fairies and pixies reign.
I build worlds with words and phrases. I love stringing them together to make neurons pop! The brain is the greatest, highest point of creation. I don’t believe AI will supersede humans because the brain contains more than logic, more, even, than emotions. Humans are infinitely fascinating. I study them and try to recreate them in the worlds I build.
Narration allows me to play with other author’s characters and worlds! I put my heart and soul into every project, in close partnership with the author, to deliver a rich sensory experience to earbuds near you!
