Bio

An original resident of the Tannery Arts Center, where her studio and home are located, her work is deeply informed by her community. She can often be found in a tree, near the ocean or in a kitchen making a delicious mess, with a song.

DOPE POET LOVE Press. A new collection as Sacred Poets is set for release in fall 2025.
Artist Statement
"Writing has always been a personal expression for me , and it’s only been in the last ten years that I’ve explored poetry and the sharing of it out loud. I find the vulnerability of it liberating and hope that my words, distilled and semi-refined find purchase in the hearts of the listened and water their own seeds of expression."
