About me

Industry Arts
Occupation Professional Classical Vocal Soloist/Ensemblist
Location Tualatin, Oregon, United States
Introduction I was born in Atlanta, grew up in So. Cal's San Gabriel Valley, the beach, and at Disneyland, learned singing and never anything else (well, I CAN type...). Went to Chapman College, now a big hootin' University, and got my Bachelor of Music in Performance - Voice in '86. Moved up here with DH's career, two years later to Seattle with DH's career for five years where I had DD. Moved to PA with DH's career, where I had DS. When Dad got cancer, DH moved his career for me, and we came back here in 1998 forever. I sing classical, opera, art songs, church hymns, and singable popular sacred and secular songs. I don't sing radio-style. I am currently singing with a trio, Mirabilis, An Extraordinary Sound! We are based here in my home, so if you want us to come to where you are you'll have to buy the airline tickets and put us up free. Or something. And pay the going rate. We have two cats too. They only sing outdoors at night. Oh! That's me with my sisses. I'm in the middle, where I belong. That's enough about me. What about you?
Interests Music, quilts, crochet, books, decorating, my kids, Scripture.... not necessarily in that order.
Favorite Movies Gone with the Wind, The Sound of Music, Music Man, Oklahoma, Carousel, South Pacific, White Christmas, Etc.... any musicals with beautiful music, Dead Poets Society (can't watch it again though - too heart-breaking!), Any old movies in black and white that are light-hearted, All Creatures Great and Small BBC series, Probably others, but can't remember, I LOVE movies!
Favorite Music Just about any classical especially singing, Harp music for relaxing, Celtic stuff, English stuff Some country stuff

If you were a pirate, how would you avoid laughing when saying 'poop deck'?
