Currently I live on a small walnut acreage where you feel connected to earth and surroundings. With degrees in wildlife biology and cultural anthropology, minors in language and music, and graduate work in ethnomusicology, I tend to see ecosystems, because that’s how nature works. This planet has so much beauty and intelligence, the scale is infinite and inspiration is a given.

Like everyone I continue to evolve as a person, for me in ecology, art, and writing. Time is a precious commodity as it is for everyone, and sometimes life and its pitfalls overtake you. Then you have to choose priorities carefully. It’s vital to remain committed because after all it’s your lifetime.

Chicken society is part of The Secret Lives of Chickens or Tales from the Chickenyard and Beyond.

My dad called the book  he wrote when in his late 80’s Second Age. He had hoped to see it formatted and published, and it was an honor to do that for him.

Dark Water is about healing from posttraumatic stress by Opal Rose.

Reflections: A Modest Collection of Short Stories includes stories that are complete fiction although some include ecology. 

Every experience becomes a teacher and every painting, book, or woodland pool adds to that, but most of all, they underscore the importance of humility. Best not to put your moments off. Once they’re past, they’re gone forever. Never forget to be grateful and to share.
