Profile Information
- My Role
- Artist, Arts Lover
- My Discipline(s)
- Dance, Music, Visual Arts, Crafts, Film & Video, Digital Arts, Design
- About Me And My Work
- Have spent much of my adult life up until this point, sifting through all the information & possibilities available to us in this information age, finally arriving at a relatively narrowed-down list of creative endeavors at age 31!
- Places I Would Like To Visit
- Best artistic experience I have had during travels was studying afro-brazilian music & dance for 2 months in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil. It attracted such a great group of international people, who had all come together out of their mutual love for this culture.
Top of my list for future travels is India. I hope to study carnatic music & possibly some dance while I am there.
- Art Forms And Cultures I Would Like To Engage With
- I am interested in art & design that draws from an intimacy with the natural world. I am strongly attracted to vibrant colors, though not exclusively. My dream is for forms of art that truly "hook" inside the human heart, mind, & spirit & draw us closer to each other & to the natural world, in wordless understanding & intimacy.
- My Creative Influences & Favorite Artists
- Carnatic: MS Subbulaksmi
Other female vocalists: Marisa Monte, Ivete Sangalo, Vanessa da Mata, Deva Premal, Becky Stark, Ana Saboya
The Beatles were a huge early influence.
National Geographic, Audobon, etc ~ nature photography
The American Southwest
Indigenous textiles
Musical culture of the Roma people & other nomadic people's of the world. Also east meets west in general... balkan, middle eastern, flamenco, north african, central asian musics.
- My Artistic Affiliations
- RagaChitra Foundation
