As a youth, my family moved from the western United States to Bermuda where I discovered dance. After earning a degree in ballet I pursued a career that spanned several decades of performing, teaching, choreographing, and directing… the last twenty years as Director of Dance at Interlochen Center for the Arts and Director at St. Paul’s School.

I created complex, layered fantasy stories on stage, bringing to life over sixty original choreographic works with up to ninety dancers which were performed in Bermuda, Japan, Canada and the United States.

In 2010, I retired from dance to take a “break decade” and live on a boat and cruise the waters of Southeast Alaska. Anchored in one remote, quiet cove or another, cut off from cell phones and the internet and surrounded by nature, I spend my life writing, photographing, creating digital art, and catching dinner too!

The pandemic disrupted my life afloat. Almost a decade after moving onto a live-aboard boat I returned to the American west to live on dirt in the high desert of Colorado.

Now I create new, intriguing stories with my writing and my art. Drawn from the beauty and dreams of fantasy, my imagined worlds and characters are a bit different than most… always with more than meets the mind on first reading.
