Background
Information
Born to art and scribbling, at an early age. Have been an painter, poet, critic, pet lover and book reviewer because I am interested in most things cultural, particularly golden ages of human creativity. I love the classics, enjoy diversity and new adventures. My writing is about independence, American values, modern artists, women and their creative contributions, GLBTQ concerns, equality and justice and all creatures large and small that we share this planet with. My creative process has been shaped by Western culture, Iris Murdoch's writings and my dedication to social justice.
