Music has been a journey, quite lonely at times, that has consistently led me to totally unexpected places, often far more powerful and rewarding than my original ambitions were.

In my late twenties, I discovered improvisation alone in my practice room…ten minutes, which opened up a world beyond my wildest dreams….I was reborn as a musician and found the umbilical cord between myself, my instrument and music.  I soon started to include solo improvisations in my performances and the response was overwhelmingly consistent: people often told me, quite annoyingly, that my improvisations were the highlight of the concert! 

These many years of free improvisation finally ripened into my first piece in 2009, And The Wind Whispered, followed in 2014 by my flute/piano piece, Broken Child. While my main creative output will continue to focus on my performing and teaching, A few years ago I also wrote Future Blossom, which I plan to publish soon.

This summer I will be appearing at the National Flute Association Convention in Phoenix and will be premiering a new piece I am writing, titled 1 Drop FULL.
