After years as a graphic designer and art teacher, I developed a class called Perceptions that used the art experience as a venue for students to examine their attitudes and beliefs about themselves and others. During my life I have practiced as an artist, teacher, potter, eight years as executive director of a non-profit advocacy agency for people with handicapping conditions, author of Healing Arts Report, a newsletter about the new life paradigm including information about complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), and as a licensed counselor. I see life as a continuing process of directing attention and learning in order to maintain balance. Emotions, physical well-being, life style, the surrounding culture, and relationships are all aspects of wholesome living. I also bring this point of view into my writing. In recent years I have published two memoirs. Sunny Side Up is about an English esoteric and experimental school for adults created by the philosopher JG Bennett in the early 70s when thousands of young adults were searching for spiritual truth and sustainable alternatives to a culture of growing materialism. The intense live-in program provided contradictions as well as rich lessons for us students. The Transparent Feather, an earlier memoir, documents my relationship with the well-known Southern writer, Berry Morgan, whose stories were published regularly in The New Yorker from 1966 to 1988. My continuous education includes studies with gifted mentors in Gestalt and Jungian psychology, Emotional Freedom Techniques, meditation, visualization, shamanic technique, cosmology, subtle energies, and related topics.view less
