About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Producing one Woman Show YO GIRL! for Edinburgh Fringe!

ABOUT ME

I am easy going, neat, sociable. My husband is an artist, sculptor, painter, performance artist for his own works. We do Kung Fu and have a superhero child. She is an old soul with more people skills than me.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live by the golden balance of life, too much of anything is bad. Everything I am, I am not. I live as sustainably as I can and strive to be the best person I can be.
