About Me

Being a triple Leo, I love performance art and enjoy being on stage.  My passion lies in making connections between seemingly disparate things, situations, people and places.  ‘Context’ could be my middle name.  It what makes me a storyteller.

Words almost always enchant me but I prefer them to tell a story – it’s my favorite form of communication whatever the medium.  Whether it’s a poem, novel, short story, travel memoir or play, I trust that whatever wisdom, information or absurdity I want to relate will embed itself in the bones of the tale and so find its way to you.

The same rules apply to my collage work, behind most of my creations a story glimmers, inviting the viewer to engage.

As priestess I work with ritual, using symbols and gestures to replay creation myths; honoring birth, death, marriage and homecoming as archetypal human stories to be retold again and again.

You can accomplish this by slowly rolling your spine against a foam roller and pausing whenever you feel restrictions to allow your joints and surrounding tissues to stretch. http://www.devensec.com/ch498/dec4989.html purchase generic cialis What makes this such a popular choice is that this is actually one of the very few true female aphrodisiacs, naturally increasing desire and performance. figs – long used as an aphrodisiac in the middle east, figs contain high concentrations of amino acids that increase female libido and stamina. eggs – one a day as the dose. http://www.devensec.com/sustain/eidis-updates/IndustrialSymbiosisUpdateApril_May2010.pdf cost of viagra pills levitra 60 mg Erectile dysfunction is most commonly caused by bacterial invasion. Therefore, you must not take stress in order viagra samples in canada to avoid any harm to a person s health. In every area, the art lies in rearranging the details into new fresh configurations – that’s what I aim for, whatever field I happen to be playing in.

Biographically speaking, I was born an Army Brat in Seattle, Washington.  We moved incessantly (or so it seemed) during my childhood.  I attended eight schools before settling into Penn State for four uninterrupted (if you don’t count marriage and a baby) years.  The man I married at twenty-one remains my husband still, some forty odd years later.  He is a pilot (and fellow Army Brat) so after marriage, toting our two children, we continued our perambulations around the globe, living for three years in South America and seventeen years in the Middle East.  We’ve also lived in many of the fifty states and currently, reside in north Texas.

I’ve been writing for many years – what began as letters evolved gradually into two books of poetry, one travel  memoir, lots of magazine articles, a dozen short stories, three children’s books, two plays and finally a novel.  Images, symbols, words, with their underlying meaning contnue to fascinate me.

  1. I was searching through Google looking for an interview from a few years ago, and I found your blog. It’s delightful to see all that you have accomplished since we had our time together. I am completing the book for my Tarot deck, published in 2011, with husband Michael Dowers. Our deck is The Tarot of the Holy Light, illustrated with collages Michael made from the art of the alchemists of the 1600’s and 1700’s. I’m teaching the angelic yoga of Jacob Boehme in the book. It’s been a transcendent project steeped in esoteric feminism and Sophianic philosophy. The apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree! All the best, cpt

  2. I enjoyed your sharing in We’moon this week about Judy Chicago’s Dinner Party. I too had to find it among old, dilapidated buildings in Chicago in the 1980’s but it was well worth it. I so hope to see it again sometime soon at its permanent home in NY.
