Describes themself as: I have found relief from chronic pain through art & music. I write ambient instrumental music which primarily revolves around the guitar and have 8 albums to date. It offers me relief & escape from pain in a healthy way. Recently, I began getting into photography and because I live in such a beautiful place I have incorporated my surroundings into my art. And because I love to write I decided to combine my photography with my words creating greeting cards. I write from the heart & almost always with a specific example in mind (see my father's day card) which I then try generalize a bit for the public. All my life I have been confronted with large obstacles and so far none have conquered me, but all have made me a better person & given me a stronger spirit. My current and most pressing obstacle is Cardiomyopathy. It's not as serious as it could be and I am beginning to heal but again, this place I live in & the art I create are crucial to my health, both mental & physical. I have a degree in Psychology & graduated from CSUS, Magna Cum Lade. Though I have not been able to apply my schooling as a profession (at least until I am healthy enough to go to grad school) I find it helps me in my art & my everyday life. I am hoping to share this art with anyone who is touched by it so please spread the word and tell your family & friends. Thank You
