My BFA is in Fine Arts, drawing.I bounced around a bit after graduating, working odd (very odd) jobs and then returned to my home town of Madison, WI and found myself taking Japanese and Japanese history classes while working in a surly Indi-video store. Somehow I came to Japan to teach English 7+ years ago. And this, in turn, brought me to belly dancing. I keep waiting for my artistic and intellectual abilities to narrow arrow style and point to a career path, but I doubt that will ever happen. I was a teacher in an Elementary school, teaching English to all grades and helping out in various other subjects (in Japanese) but now I am in a city hall as the English program supervisor to 15 elementary schools. I write daily about my life, practice dance most night, perform weekly, create costumes and trinkets and handbags on whim, still draw here and there, I just had my third art show,and I eat movies and books weekly.
