Namaste!

A nontraditional writer, photographer, painter, filmmaker--
A lifelong learner--I celebrate human diversity and
choose creativity and kindness.

I want to live in a world where respect for self,
compassion for others, mindfulness about our
fragile planet, peace, and social justice prevail.

Creating a Compassionate Life

I have always created.
I consider all art--Life itself--to be poetry and name myself a poet.
​In 1977, I began photographic studies and have carried a camera ever since.
In 2018, I took my first watercolor class; it was a lesson in Joy.
 
Beginning in March 2020, when covid locked us all down,
I chose to ride the love train--to spread Joy not fear:
I started painting 'Being Now' meditations--
Mostly nature studies in watercolor..

From 2020 through 2021, every day,
I chronicled my Joy and shared these Zen paintings.
Being Now images are currently available as notecards, custom calendars, and prints. ​
