I've been inspired by many people and I can only hope to inspire a spark of creativity within the visitor, so in turn, shall the efforts in both our journeys continue with a positive purpose. Thank you for visiting!

I was born in the small town of Tinguindín, Michoacán in the Sierra Madre mountains of México and currently reside in Florida, USA with my husband and 3 children.

On the Internet my contributions can be found at several Journals and Literary zines dedicated to the art of haiga, haiku, photography & poetry and in print with my recent bilingual book: Every Shade The Garden and the travel pictorial: The Venice of America. As well as with Seasons & Sonnets: Art and Poetry a collaboration with New York Poet Michael D. Petti. Also my collaboration with photographers Gary Glass & Markos Berndt in the book CROSSROADS: 3 Paths to Nature, with fantastic Nature and Wildlife Photography. And my book collaboration with my husband John D. Bloom for the Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale Museum: Allan McElhiney - One Man's Vision. Many of my books can be found at Lulu.com or at Amazon. My photography and poetry is available in print and on the web.
