My digital distributor, The Orchard, calls it a singer-songwriter album exploring the underworld of relationships. This is a photograph that my stalwart partner Guy took for the home-designed CD insert. He's been on plenty of these so-called explorations with me. I was driving around in Belfast, Maine, one afternoon and stumbled upon a collection of bigger-than-life marble angels, predictably in a graveyard. I returned with Guy and our son Rory one moody grey late fall late afternoon, and we did a photoshoot while people drove by shaking their heads. My little album has been listened to and downloaded in places as faraway as Japan and Russia, which makes me shake my head! I never understand why I made this album, but thank you for listening to this collection of harmony and confusion.

I do windows- I mean- WEBSITES!!!- TOO! Fun and functional web designs that won't empty your bank account or leave you feeling powerless over your own web technology. From E-Commerce to hobby sites.

Here are some links to sites I have done:

WRFR Low Power Radio, Rockland, Maine

Coastal Critters Clambakes

and, the website you are viewing right now...

This Summer, I'll STILL be in the saddle at Northern Kingdon Music, Rockport, Maine, bringing you guitar, flute, and voice instruction.

I specialize in teaching students of all ages and abilities and want you to love that gitbox as much as I love Guinevere, my Lowden guitar- a true confidante who has never let me down.

Haven't you always wanted to play the guitar? Isn't there that one song if you could just play it, life would finally make sense? Let's talk. I can get you there.

I was born on April 13, 1965, in a land called New Jersey. I went to the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, majoring in music. I'm currently enrolled at Kennebec Valley Community College in Computer Science. Becoming pregnant with my daughter Penelope, who is now 20 and about to begin her third year at Smith College, I settled in Maine, and I commenced to grow flowers and raise Penny. I still live in Maine with my partner Guy Polyblank, and our son Rory, age 10. I run a landscaping business in the summers called Artemisia Landscape Gardening, I teach music; both traditional instrumental lessons and sound design and production on computer. I compose music for visual media and do a few live dance sets and/or singer-songwriter gigs a year. And, I do websites.

A pastiche of compositions made on my computer, but not exclusive to computer-generated sounds.

There aren't any links right now. Last week, I found the pile of cat-eaten newspaper clippings. Stay tuned, I don't want to have a self-centered moment reliving all that, but I guess I am supposed to.
