I love music, poetry, curiosity, creativity, and am especially intrigued by people who are passionate about whatever they are doing.

Philosophy: Kindness.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching flocks of starlings pulse and twist as if a single organism, over a harbor in southern England.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can give you a voice lesson, show you how to improvisationally draw, write a poem with you. I can also make a mean beef stew that melts in your mouth, or for vegetarians/vegans, a tofu pumpkin pie. I'm also fond of making interesting salads and smoothies. :)
