About me

Gender Female
Industry Arts
Occupation Painter, Photographer
Location California mountains, United States
Introduction A mix of Oglala Sioux, Cherokee, and Northern Italian, I am a 4th generation artist (I work in alkyds, acrylics, watercolors, ink, and colored pencil on canvas and paper), and 2nd generation photographer. I walk a spiritual path that is a blend of my 3 cultures, plus my Irish Godmother's culture. I have one green eye and one brown eye, just like my Northern Italian Nonna (grandmother). I live with my husband and our four-footed babies (human ones are grown, flown and thriving) in a cottage that sits by a cold, clear-running stream high in a mountain forest which is filled not only with beauty, but also magic and wonder.
Interests animal, environmental and political activism, hiking, reading, womens' empowerment, the traditions of my grandmothers and Irish Godmother, gardening, astronomy, metaphysics, geophysics, philosophy, spirituality, psychology, history, meteorology
