about me
I am a writer-dancer-artist a sometime poet and closet singer. I have a corporate day job that I like to think of as my secret identity.

I live in the city, though not a large one; I am an urban witch and I am at home here. I see the cycles of nature here among the bricks, just as much as I see them among the trees.

I love horror movies; the more zombies the better and if it has eighties music and big hair...that's a bonus. I collect vampire and occult folklore with a preference for local New England tales. I adore spooky stories that make me go to bed with the light on. I also entertain myself with martial arts films..

I grow things. Mostly in pots in my small back yard. I craft with yarn, fabric and paint. I find new uses for old things. Like most crafters I have an excessive collection of materials that I have yet to organize.

I don't like doing dishes, laundry or making the bed but I do them anyway. I love dancing, reading, talking with friends, walking barefoot and taking naps in the sun, on the couch with my cats.

If there were a way to exist by eating only dark chocolate, I would do it.

Dark Follies is a vaudeville style street performance that will take place in Monument Square during the First Friday Art Walks from May to September from 8:00 – 9:00 pm. Our purpose is to celebrate street performance and to showcase our local talent.

We debuted Dark Follies in September of 2008 we had a crowd of nearly 100 people who gathered to watch our dancers, drummers and fire performers. We are very excited to be able to hold the event again this year over the summer.
