Personal note Melbourne, 1993 See a longer (1995) 'expression' HERE

My journey as an independent artist is a testament to personal healing, and learning to follow intuition.

Over a lifetime spent in slowly coming to understand the impacts of historical 'turning points' in shaping our lives, I know that our choices shape our future reality:
"Growing up" is about acknowledging the importance of exercising Free Will - and we will always have the 'tools' at our fingertips!

Every person has a choice and a duty to take truthful 'action' and we are empowered when we find creative ways to express the love and gratitude we all tend to keep hidden - in abundance - even from ourselves.

"I am one person and one person can make a difference."

Over my lifetime, I have been blessed with many opportunities to speak up and sing out before great and small gatherings of people. I feel 'charged' with sharing the evocative feeling and beauty of ancient cultural concepts and traditional songs -- along with my own expressions of poetry and song.

Because I see myself foremost as an artist and communicator, the themes in my essays, poetry, and songs reflect on contemporary issues. Every learning experience is a treasure. To paraphrase a Sufi saying, there are as many ways to reunite with the spiritual source as there are breaths of individuals. I strive to retain my independence while working consistently to 'contribute' to nurturing empowerment for everyone!

Every day I see 'magic' happen before my eyes. I no longer experience time as linear, but as a constantly interweaving web of relationships.
