About the Artist
Polite society sets the standard for "normal". To me, normal is boring. I prefer variety in life and find beauty in some odd places. I love to photograph nature because it calms me. Life is stressful in these fast-paced times and nature serves as a reminder of what we are missing in this hurried lifestyle.
I also sing, dabble with a guitar and keyboard and write my own music and lyrics. I have been the voice of Deja Vudoo, an original band in central Pennsylvania, which sadly no longer performs. We did record two albums, one acoustic and the other, hard rock with the full band. I perform acoustically with my good friend and guitar player, Michael Nott. See the Music page for more information.
I paint. My preferred medium is watercolor, but I also use chalk, ink and acrylics. Sadly, most of my work has been lost over the years but I am working to rebuild my portfolio. I have done crafts, including wreaths, ornaments, woodburning and clay. I make beaded jewelry. I've even made herbal lotions, potions and teas.
My latest endeavor is to create an improved version of myself and the world around me. I've taken a course in Fitness & Nutrition, and I plan to continue my education with classes in relaxation therapy and holistic health. I am a Reiki Master/Teacher and I am trying to master meditation techniques. It's a slow and difficult process, but well worth it. I have found the journey to be educational and beneficial. I have not reached my destination yet, but I am happy to help those I meet a long the way. I feel that I am finally awakening. I have all but given up tv (except Big Bang Theory... ha. ha.) and I avoid the news as best as possible. I find that you can't always believe what they report anyway. But don't get me started on conspiracy theory talk... unless you are really ready to be enlightened.
