Bio: I am a performer, writer, and visual artist. As a singer with Duo LiveOak, I perform contemporary art song with composer/guitarist Frank Wallace, and solo shows of my own staged dramatic memoirs (with music and masks). My visual art includes photography, painting, maskmaking and graphic design.
