Composing and painting are the most visceral and powerful ways for me to tell my truth as I know it. I create out of a strong desire to express and know myself and the world on a profound level. Composing since I was 10 years old, music has been a constant companion in my life, allowing me a way to process my world and bring comfort, joy and excitement into my life. Growing up In NH, I was always at the piano scratching notes onto paper, making art and poetry books and dancing in the fields. I graduated from the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY with a Masters in Music Composition and taught music there for 12 years.
After a trip to Arizona where I attended the Sound, Listening and Learning Center for a month, I had a deep insight that brought me passionately into visual art. I was drawing everyday at the center as required and realized that most of us never know our full potential because of the inner critic which stops us at a certain point in creative endeavors. I felt like I didn't know my true potential, all that I was capable of, and right then I made a commitment to explore my world through the process of color, line and image on paper. My painting is spontaneous and reflects my immediate emotions and musical absorption in rhythmic patterns and motifs. I have been fortunate to have worked with wonderful, world-class mentors in music improvisation, the process of creating art and in spiritual practice that continually guide me in my creative life. I currently paint, compose, teach music and coach creativity in Greensboro, North Carolina.
