I am a multimedia artist/teacher with a strong academic background & a

lifetime of seeking/finding solutions. From exploring the visual arts,

music, writing & incarnation, from healing thereby & from teaching all

ages, I have witnessed for decades that we can become effective instruments

of AGAPE. I want to help children learn how to learn! That way they can

become lifetime problem solvers as I am.

recommendation of Middlebury College French Professor Carol Rifelj,

disappointment with approach of public school system as it marginalizes or

excludes my fields of competence. Looking for a place to teach where I can

share with students creatively, rather than conform to clearly failed

practices.

I am also a very good cook and beginning gardener. Am a lifelong student

of history. Some thirty or so of my letters-to-editor have been published

throughout Vermont. It has been my pleasure to host numerous dinner

parties where intelligent conversation is encouraged. Have written a new

play, My Wheel Deal. Am revising my book-length Ode to An Aborted

Daughter. Have discovered a wide variety of methods for healing emotions

that can easily be taught to children!

I am privileged to have studied with Meyer Schapiro, Nathan Oliviera, Peter

Agostini and Kenneth Baldridge---to have shared the stage or altar with Bob

Dylan, Tom Paxton, Zela Terry, Aim e Andr and Greg Vitercik---and to have

worked with Joseph Papp at The NY Public and The Delacorte Theaters. My

intervention w/ Creative Alternatives to Prison succeeded in changing law

in nation's capitol to permit criminals (normally imprisoned) to serve

community under benevolent surveillance. Method proved to considerably

reduce recidivism rate!

Those who exploited my good will have taught me important lessons. I

welcome any position that offers the possibility of engaging truth and

creativity. We are in the death throes of the old, moving toward the GREAT

SHIFT--- from ego-centered to love-centered civilization. It is my

privilege and passion to help mitigate the considerable damage egomaniacs

continue to wreak on society. My gifts witness to the unfailing help we

receive when we call on Creator for guidance in the ongoing struggle.

As a theatrical personality, am able to assume characteristics required to

honor taboos associated with the job, though I prefer being open, even when

this may cause some discomfort in those attached to unyielding (sometimes

abusive) patterns. It has taken me a very long time to develop into

someone who has so much to offer. Am not competitive but rather

cooperative in style.

Note: If we do not encourage and support the creativity & integrity we

were born with to flourish, then how can we hope to climb out of this

general mess we are experiencing in society right now? Letters of

recommendation, CD's of music, cards based on artwork, poetry, news

coverage of events, letters-to-editor available on request. You may count

on my discretion, dedication, humility and total sobriety. Though I am an

older person, my health & energy level are EXCELLENT as have studied

profoundly ways to rejuvenate & be attuned with enthusiasm for each new

day.
