In 1997 I sold my car, quit my job, packed up my studio apartment and made the big city move from small town Rhode Island to big lights New York City. My mission was to fully immerse myself in my dream of becoming a stage and screen actress and creative writer. After the move, my starry-eyed visions turned to stark realizations as I encountered artistic rejection, creative blocks, all with a fear of failure looming large. Luckily, it wasn't long before my artistic studies led me on the path to The Artist's Way (TAW). Thanks to the principles and practices of TAW I learned to hone my gifts, break through those blocks, celebrate my eccentricities and push back on the voice in my head that worked to sabotage my every effort to blossom as a creative. My 12 years in the city would not have been as successful and creatively fulfilling without the TAW tools and techniques I learned early on in my journey as a creative in NYC.

​

Now, twenty-plus years later, I still use the tools I learned back then and apply them to my life now. I am a firm believer in the power of the creative connection and the impact it can have on ALL facets of your life. As a professional copywriter, content creator and published creative writer I actively work each day to keep the flow of new energy alive, and it is all thanks to the teachings of Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way principles.
