Bio
Compulsive Creative. Visual Artist. Storyteller. Gardener. Life is about creating, observing what unfolds, and delighting in all of it.
I spent 25 years as an indie filmmaker, theater producer, and story excavator. I've worked as a creative producer, writer, developmental editor, director, or script consultant on all kinds of content: narrative films, documentary films, screenplays, novels, plays, websites, educational programs, and multi-platform storyworlds (say what?).
When I became a parent, my focus gradually shifted away from large, group projects to developing my own voice as a visual artist obsessed with textures and mood.
I like presenting stories, images, or perspectives that are unexpected. Perspective informs experience: being able to change perspective is a powerful conduit to gratitude and wonder.
I can be mentally restless and distractible. Depression and anxiety are not unfamiliar to me. So, being able to shift perspective is a lifeline for me. It’s a divine gift to be able to be present in gratitude and delight, even amidst Life’s ups and downs.
If and when the outputs of my creativity help others tap into the wonder of being, live in harmony with mental health challenges, and/or connect meaning and agency to their life experiences - that is Living On Purpose for me..
