Hello. This will be my first (half) marathon. I am a full-time artist, clay is my favorite medium, I also paint and teach art workshops. When not writing poetry, my favorite thing is to dance, especially contact improv and ecstatic dance. I spend a lot of time in the woods, walking and writing poems in my head. I love music, reading, traveling, and learning!

I grew up in North Western Pennsylvania and moved to Charlottesville, Virginia 15 years ago. It’s a wonderful place to live and raise a family. My children are both off on their own now and I am rerouting, learning all over again what it is that I love to do.
