Mmm…the smell of white glue and the rip of the paper. I fell for this a few years before greasepaint and the roaring crowd caught my fancy. My Mom put a scrapbook and a Life Magazine in my hands around the age of 5 and I have been at it ever since.

I am an actor by training. I grew up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I began my professional life in theatre while at Northern Michigan University, continued to Actor’s Theatre of Louisville and like all magnets to a pole, New York City. Along the way I honed my skills as a multi-faceted fiber artist, sewing costumes for theatre and dance. I got to create costumes with one of my she-ros, Martha Graham. I have a wide base of training in performing arts and fine arts. I am also an avid gardener and cook. I am a 3 time graduate of the School of the Womanly Arts Mastery program and have spent one full luscious year in the SWA Inner Circle. I am currently working on a book “Laundry Line Divine: a wild soul book for women”.

For the past 15 years I have had the best job yet: I am a full time Mom. Together with my husband we are raising our 2 kids here in the Berkshires.
