Creative Communicator
ARTISTS STATEMENT:
Writing poetry affords me
an opportunity to share
a veiled intimacy with my reader.
My poetry is a celebration of
relationship with God, family,
and friends. I see words as a
beautiful palate of color with which
I paint a picture, and that picture
can come to life in the soul!
I’ve written “silently” since high school. It was only when I began attending a writers’ group(Creatively Called), approximately 16 years ago, that I took the step to share my writing with others.
Many writers from a broad spectrum, from Dr. Seuss to Maya Angelou, influence me. The Holy Scriptures and great Christian thinkers such as C.S. Lewis and Erwin McManus also contribute to my poetical and thoughtful journey.
My work has been published in compilation books, children’s calendar and as part of craft projects and framed art. I have created greeting cards that offer heartfelt and unique messages for almost any occasion. I continue to look for new and creative ways to share the gift of poetry.
I have been recognized as an award winning poet in two nationwide contests.
I am also an inspirational speaker with a passion to help strengthen, support, encourage and celebrate family relationships. My poetry and inspirational writings are interspersed throughout an offering of personal stories and practical insight in my talks to Women's Groups.
As an interpreter of song I present an animated and visual celebration of worship. I use a combination of sign and movement to interpret the meaning of the song to the audience.
I have been married to Patrick for 39 years. We have four married children and five grandchildren. I am a member of Journey Christian Church.
