I am a Licensed Professional Counselor by day, and an AltAred Art starving artist by night. My art is an interpretation of the things that are most important in my life: family, art, spirituality, beauty. The whimsical and the odd. Altered art expresses best all that's in my heart. I find creating to be a very soulful kind of creativity.

I fancy myself something of a "flower child" although I was a wee girl during the 60s, I still LOVE the 60s and 70s music, art, style!

Something else about me you might find odd/interesting, is that I am a Franciscan Monk. I am a member of the Order of Ecumenical Franciscans, and have taken a vow of poverty,chastity and obedience. I believe in the values of St. Francis of Assisi, and admire his love for creation, animals, and Christ.

Short version, I'm a whale saving, tree hugging, peace loving soul. Just thought you might like to know. :-)
