I grew up in Southern California and attended high school in Sedona, Arizona. I received a BA in English Literature and Multi-Media Production, and an MA in Communication Studies. I lived for a decade with my honey, Marty Landa, in Australia. I studied alternative dance, contact improvisation, expressive arts, mask making, writing, and have been a member of two theater troupes. For the last several years I have modeled for fine art, artistic, and life drawing projects.
My masks have been part of public displays and exhibits. I've performed using masks and/or dance at many public and private events and festivals. I've received a number of dance related and artist grants to further my diverse artistic passions.
Marty and I co-created UnMasKit!, a first of its kind, natural, mask making kit, which we received a year-long Australian government grant to develop. www.unmaskit.com
I initiated Face Up to Peace, a mask making project to raise awareness for the development of worldwide Departments of Peace. www.faceuptopeace.com
I co-created and/or initiated numerous community arts--and other--groups in the US and Australia.
I have written for various magazines, newspapers, and publications in the US and Australia. I'm the author, graphic designer, and model for the book, "Love Song to Gaia", which photographer Alba Elena and I received a City of Sedona grant to create. www.lovesongtogaia.com
I am wildly committed to whatever passion I put my energy into, and hope to devote more time to doing what I love in 2011.
