About Me

I am an artist who does not do a very good job of staying in her creative box! I love to make things, whether those things are journals, artwork, or dances. I love critters of all kinds, and am much more likely to take a picture of a spider than to smoosh it. (But if you need one relocated, I'll do that too! :) ) I'm the mom of two kids, who grew up unschooled all their lives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people, first and foremost. I am also trying to expand my horizons and travel to perform in new places and experience new environments, and frankly the cost of hotels when traveling is prohibitive for someone on an artist's budget. I have also been feeling an itch to travel, and couchsurfing seems like one way to make that possible.

Music, Movies, and Books

My all time favorite book is "Good Omens" by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. (And I love all of Pratchett's Discworld books) I also love "Little Women" and "Jane Eyre." There was also a few months during junior high where I devoured anything and everything written by Edgar Allen Poe.

I love horror movies, from the goofy and ridiculous to the seriously disturbing.

Music: yes please.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have created shows that have been performed at the Great Salt Lake Fringe Festival two years in a row! And now I am going to a new Fringe Festival in a different city!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been dancing all of my life, but I deeply deeply believe that dance is for everyone, and if you have a body, you can dance. I love to dance and move with anyone!
