​Personal Statement:
My passions are for spirituality, creativity, the healing arts, and nature. As an artist my preferred media are photography and performance art. However I have experience with a variety of art forms from glass blowing to watercolor to theater lighting design. I have practiced yoga and meditation daily since 1992 and have been taking personal retreats since 1994. Considering myself a 'wisdom seeker", I was raised Episcopalian but have spent the bulk of my life studying Buddhism, Taoism, and Vedanta.
