Nectar Of Your Dreams
Editorial Reviews As I attended college my world was blown wide open to the much bigger picture unfolding around me. Through my studies I became aware of social, political and sustainability issues. These issues fed my passion. Then I saved up enough money to by my first guitar and I started writing songs about the world I was witnessing around me and within myself. As the guitar playing imporved and the song-writing deepened, life continued. I explored interests in holistic healing, massage therapy, herbalism, organic farming. I became a lover, a partner, a step-parent. I became passionate about creating healing upon a challenged planet and realized the most authenic way for me to express this passion is through my love of music. From a shy child, I discovered a woman's courage and I fell in love with song-writing and performing. When I write a new song, it's like falling in love all over again. These songs are the mirrors of my world, my heart, my prayers and dreams. The release of this first CD, "Nectar Of Your Dreams", is a tribute to walking boldly into a life of passion and healing! Currently I perfom as a solo artist or joined by some the various artists heard on the CD. Whether I am accompanying local belly dance troupes or perfoming in the Ashland Blues Festival, I love experimenting with different styles of music. I love variety, and nothing inspires me like exploring a diversity of sound in my song-writing.

My love of music humbly began in the church choir when I was 4 years old and I have been singing ever since. As a child, classical training in flute, oboe, piano and vocals created a base of study from which my later musical interests developed. Early influences ranged from Mozart to Jimi Hendrix and everything in between. Being a shy child, I found music to be a natural expression of so much feeling I had inside and I dedicated hours of study to it.
