A sleepy, liminal creative
My path in life thus far has been anything but straight, and it has been hella interesting!
What I value most these days is simply being present, breathing and noticing every moment as it unfolds. I may remember it. Maybe not. That's okay because I allowed myself to be fully immersed in that occasion. Capturing it with words, in a photograph, or in a sketch is nice but not essential.
Some tidbits...
- My favorite color is green.
- I danced (ballet, tap, lyrical, jazz, ballroom) throughout my childhood and teen years.
- I am a trained classical vocalist. I studied extensively and was accepted into Mannes, but I walked away in favor of...
- Photography. In New York City I worked with models/actors and shot a number of fashion and beauty events. I also got to be a paparazza on the red carpet!
- I worked as the assistant to a jazz pianist in Manhattan.
- I enjoy painting now because it continues to be unpredictable, even after years and hours of practice.
- I read and translate ancient Greek texts for funsies.
- I will get better at calligraphy. Someday.
- I believe in romantic platonic friendships (totally non-sexual).
I have this quirk where I vacillate ridonkulously, and I've always struggled with having one website versus two (one for crafty craziness and one for highfalutin art sh*t). Well, life is silly and serious and everything in between, so why separate them? I am admittedly a bit out there and zany, at times a delirious saddie, and I'm going to live it up. So, there.
