Writer, Artist and Teacher
WriterI decided to write science fiction and fantasy novels when I was 15. Went to college. Got a degree in literature with a concentration in creative writing. Learned some stuff. Taught HS English, learned some more stuff. Then I came back to my first love, writing science fiction and fantasy. Been focusing on that for a while. Have a couple of novels. Looking for representation. I share some of my writing on patreon.

ArtistI've been an artist as long as I can remember. After decades of learning, I now trust my instincts. I let my subconscious roam free in my art, thus, what I'm showing is an internal world, emotion, symbolism, thought, process. Always process. Art is a way to make meaning of life and to make life more meaningful. You can buy prints on redbubble or society6 and if there's something you don't see there, ask me and I'll put it up.

TeacherWhen I think back on my life, I started teaching and guiding at a pretty young age. The point of everything is to learn what I learn and then share it with others so they can understand too. If I learn about art and writing and process and empowerment and voice then what I do is share it so you can learn too. I share my process on patreon, along with my non fiction work on creativity. I offer creativity coaching to work through your writing or creativity projects and process.

Just Some Things I Do
Oracle and Tarot ReaderMy grandma was a curandera in New York City and she learned it from her mother who was a curandera in Puerto Rico. I've been reading tarot cards since I was 19. If you want a reading, contact me. I also have been developing my own elemental oracle collaged with my own artwork. They are cool.

Sci Fi and Fantasy FanIt's just who I am. Dragons and Spaceships saved me as a kid. I learned all about fine literature, but this is my first love and nothing's felt as good as getting back to SF/F. Right now I'm pretty obsessed with The 100, and fangirl about that on my tumblr. But I'm also looking at story structure and the narrative and analysis, so if you want a writer's and english teachers perspective on sf/f geekery, i answer daily questions on the show, science fiction, writing, analysis, character, story structure, feminism and pretty much anything.

A Creative LifeLife is about more than just writing words or making art, it's also about the living. And sometimes you can lose the balance. So I try to remember and take the moment, and live the life.
