Excellent music studies throughout my life opened doors for a kind of mini music career not so long ago. Pianist, choral director, chorister... It seems like a dream now.
Since Covid lockdown and dealing with increased health challenges, I've been composing, playing, and singing as I'm able, as well as seeking out other artful, at-my-pace projects.

Music
In June 2021, I released my debut solo piano album, Take My Hand, composed during the 2020 lockdown. It's dedicated to chronic illness sufferers and to those who keep them in "life's dance."

Health
In 2020, I was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome after floundering for decades with misdiagnosed health issues. I have a bit of wisdom to share for chronic pain sufferers.
