Where I’ve been
My journey has been ignited by rock n roll. Then at 18 I went to Brasil. There I was ignited by world music. Movies have been my lifesavers. Acting school and classes saved my ass many a time. Guerilla theatre in NYC was the best. Over and over.
Love the narrative – visual composition- redoing spaces. Sleek Design. Reading and watching shows. Narrative – my total jam. Storytelling & Traveling.
Where I am now: It’s 2023
I’m publishing a book. What a fun journey.
A new time has dawned. I sense that I am on the bridge. What has been relinquished is my struggle; not wanting to a part of commerce. Where spontaneous acts are bottled and sold to become a thing. They are then a copy of themselves a mere shadow of the creative point. That always bothered me.
We are through it. And the newcomers aren’t in that frequency.. YAY!
The quote below is by a hero of mine, Alejandro Jodorowsky. This passage describes The Tower. I just realized I’m writing about it a lot, and it is also the 7- It’s number XVII – the number 16. So there will be an underbelly of unpredictability and taking care of business this year 2023- a 7 year, besides The Chariot VII, the 7, and the point of stillness and motion.
“I am the temple: the entire world is an altar I make sacred. My life, like yours, proves at every heartbeat that the world is divine, that the flesh is a living celebration and life a never-ending construction. With me you will know the joy that is key to the sacred. I am life itself, the transformation and the reconstruction, the flame and the energy of everything alive, of all matter and all spirit. If you wish to enter me, you must rejoice, cast into the fire the infantile whims of sorrow and fear, and ask yourself every time you awake: What shall I celebrate now? I am the cataclysmic joy of living, the permanently unforeseen and marvelous catastrophe.” ~The Tower from The Way of Tarot, by Jordorowsky & Costa
Life is the flow, and my interest, my intent, is to be available to where it wants me to go!

It takes tremendous courage to think for yourself, to examine yourself.

Yoga
30 years practicing
Self Analysis is a branch of yoga. Knowing how to follow the thoughts constructively is key.
It’s all yoga. For me all the greats have been yogi’s and yogini’s. The asana practice is a very small part. This is philosophy, a way of life. Pranayama is my current teaching modality in yoga. 1/2020.. AR
Styling
Style Groove. My background, my pulse is rock n roll. It’s a familiar world. I was able to step in and do wardrobe styling on The Emeril Lagasse show for both Emeril and his band.

Clear the way, Clear the Space~
Visual Theme~ I styled in the showrooms in NYC twice a year.
• I strip things down. Then the style emerges, the inherent beauty.
• I have transformed so many spaces. This is the creative force in me, like an active tornado (I am from the midwest) I fine-tune and make a space work drawing from feng shui.
• My article in honor of someone I worked with…
