Bio
Hi there - Here's a bit about me if you're interested.
Art has been part of my life since childhood, and I've been writing since my college days in the 60's, when I got my BS in Journalism at Boston University. (Why the unfortunate BS instead of BA beats me, since any writing is way more of an art than a "science".)
Anyway, since then my writing has taken many forms including long and short non-fiction essays, poetry, journaling, autobiography, fictionalized auto-biography, and travelogues. My artwork has included photography; museum exhibit installation; water color, oil and acrylic painting; clay sculpture; cartooning and caricature; 3-D and paper constructions and card-making; paper and fabric doll-making. Seems I just can't make up my mind which I like better.........
I've also been an avid traveler since childhood and visited more than 23 countries and 33 States (or is it 34?).
All these experiences, combined with an MA in Adolescent Psychology, contributed to my focus on the subjects that inspire me most: culture, social issues, travel, psychology, person-centered education, giftedness, and creativity.
I've written two books: "Sophia Sees the World", published in 2000 and for sale at Amazon Books. A sequel "the Dao of the Doll - Sophia's journeys continue", is a hand-made book in its final stages of construction. Three other books planned for the Sophia series are: "An Errant Trajectory - travels in search of meaning"; "PlanetSpin"- the world as seen through the eyes of young people"; and "Self-Emulation - a journey toward awakening in an ordinary life".
In this blog I'll focus on short-form social, political, and cultural commentaries, travel photography, and a bit of artwork. Hope it'll all be thought-provoking and enjoyable for you! Anna
