In the real world I was a Municipal Court Bailiff and for a short time, I did Stand-up comedy (actually, they aren't all that different!). It's only been in the last couple of years that I've been able to say (outloud) "
I am an artist." Being surrounded by people who often comment, "That's nice...how much money did/will you make from it?" can dampen your creative spirit. But, with groups like W.A.R.M. I hope to continue in my journey to discover my voice; through the creation of collages, writing, photography, drawing, painting, sculpting... any other avenue that I come across!
I facilitate a yearly women writers RETREAT. The date for this year is April 3 - 5, 2009. See EVENTS
I also host a monthly women writers group. We meet the third Sunday of each month, at the Women's Resource Center, located on the campus of Kent State University, Kent, Oh. All the information for that, is also at my website:
www.BigWits.com And I'm thrilled to be hosting a 5 Saturday Drawing Workshop: "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain." See EVENTS.
So that's it. That's me. I look forward to meeting other women artists and exchanging ideas, opportunities and support - as we continue to listen to the Muse and "play" along!
