My work as a singer draws a number of deep wells: the traditional repertoire of Western Music, my own rootedness in the land, and the personal fulfillment I find in bringing joy and healing to listeners through giving voice to song. I’m inspired by the natural world, the ever changing seasons, and the the vast array of mythos, folktales, and scripture which fill my musical repertoire.
I am motivated by the question: How can I as a singer, as well as my audience, be most nourished by the stories that I share? Singers carry many old stories which we share in opera, art song, and oratorio. I hope to move into a more significant connection with this repertoire of wisdom through archetypal study, depth psychology, and by re-learning the skill of understanding mythos.
Despite the the fact that, over the past year, I have dearly missed performing as a concert soloist, I consider myself very lucky to still be working in churches. I enjoy profound satisfaction from offering my voice as an element of ceremony; you can hear me in local weekend Masses, as well as at Funerals and Weddings, throughout Southeastern Massachusetts, and the East Bay of Rhode Island.

As a voice teacher, my goal is to help students sing comfortably and learn essential musicianship skills. I offer lessons online, at my home studio in Adamsville, Rhode Island, and at Mitchell College in New London, CT.
