I've always been a bit of a gypsy, since my mother took me to England and Germany to visit friends and relatives when I was three (some of my first memories) and an open air production of Peter Pan a few years later made a huge impression on me - flying, magic! I've never really grown up! But I've lived on the same block in Brooklyn since 1985, gradually creating a little fantasy farm in the city.
