My creative style and the way I approach my work (both collaborative and solo) is a reflection of my life experience. As a practicing Buddhist, the driving force in my life has been to create health , balance, and value. I feel it is this humanistic way of thinking that gives the arts its power to transform lives.

This unique process is the end result of my career experiences. Creating my own art, performing dance globally and working with incredible directors, actors and dancers has helped me strip away the pretense usually associated with artistic endeavors. Teaching children and adults to express themselves through the arts has taught me the supreme value of each individual's point of view and the validity of each voice. My own health challenges gave me tremendous appreciation for my own life as well as the lives of those around me and the the desire to learn how the arts can renew both body and mind.

I have accomplished many of the goals I set. I have struggled through many life changes and at this point, I find myself experiencing health, joy and appreciation. The arts have helped me accomplish this and the desire I have now, is to share this process with you.'
