What is the aim or goal of your writing: Hard work, persistance, willingness to stubbornly pursue my own independent course, tremendous support from colleagues and community. For any artist, but especially for a woman, one is challenged daily to find space and time to do creative work in the face of myriad competing social, personal, and professional demands. Each day I ask myself: "What can I do today to put my art first?" The answer is different each day, but it reminds me to act in accordance with my priorities.

May inquiries be sent to you about doing workshops, readings: Yes
I welcome this.
