Biography | |
I am a 64-year-old writer (nonfiction books about science and scientists for young adults, plus poetry) who is reinventing herself as an artist, a lost childhood dream resurrected in midlife. Discovering, playing with, and bringing to othersâ attention the wonders of the outer world of nature and the inner world of the imagination is my passion. With the help of Photoshop, my collages transform what is into what might be and endeavor to open doors into magical realms. My jewelry arises from my Raven-like love of bright colors and pretty shiny things.
I live in El Cerrito, California, with my husband (beloved fellow writer, computer guru, and philosopher), a variable number of cats, and Emilia, my digital camera, who goes with me almost everywhere. In addition to writing and art, I have done volunteer storytelling and nature guiding for local nature education centers. |

 |
A 20th century style of painting in which nonrepresentational lines, colors, shapes, and forms replace accurate visual depiction of objects, landscape, and figures. The subjects often stylized, blurred, repeated or broken down into basic forms so that it becomes unrecognizable. Intangible subjects such as thoughts, emotions, and time are often expressed in abstract art form. |
