A little atomic number on the sale rack. Lots of castles. Lots of knives and forks. Lots of closet skeletons. The fitting room flooded with the strands of the score he left on her answering machine. A drive-in movie screen: their cloud-built bed stuffed with opera lens and whatnots. How they loved to Euro the plot in a ceremonious old-world why not, play Scrabble with only the X’s and O’s. Nonstick knickknacks stacked high on the truth table sewn from trick-thread and midnight scissors. Buy two get a double agent gratis. How bountiful the boa—

A (Semi) Brief Bio.The 1990's was full of experiences that lead me here. I was a make up artist for FAD magazine in Paris, France. A hair stylist in the sometimes annoying tony neighborhoods of San Francisco. A 1920's cabaret stage performer choreographed by the illustrious Martha Graham protégé , Marni Wood, produced by the Goethe Institute..beginning with The Seven Addictions and Five Professions of Anita Berber written by Mel Gordon... A fetish (and some pin-up) model both in the U.S.A and in Hamburg, Germany, appearing in publications ranging from ''Skin Two'' to the "Village Voice"........In the following years while working mostly in the vintage textile retail business I began to write, published in many journals both hard copy and online. .....
.....Then I began to paint... semi large scale mixed media pieces as an independent galleried artist showing in Austin, Texas, New Orleans and New York, New York at places like Gallery 1313 (now continental), Marfa, Guadalupe Arts Center, Gallery Lombardi, LPK in the French Quarter & Austin City Limits Fest to name a few....
I've been exploring photography for a little over a year now....i hope it inspires and dare i say , delights lol
Looking forward to meeting you...

I could have danced all night! And still have begged for more. I could have spread my wings And done a thousand things I've never done before. I'll never know What made it so exciting. Why all at once my heart took flight. I only know when he Began to dance with me. I could have danced, danced danced all night!
