Some are more text-focused but most are interdisciplinary as I work through aspects of a concept. My writing projects often span years as I research & develop in various forms while producing texts.

Usually I find that my favorite works of art are those that allow the artist herself growth as much as they might inspire an audience toward internal examination. ***above photo by Samuel Hassen Show Less Committed to the values of sustainable business, she was a director of the Board for the Sustainable Business Network of Greater Philadelphia and for several years wrote for her eco-advice blog, Dear Hippie.
