: About Me

I was born and raised in Jersey City, New Jersey, lived in New York for a few years when I went to Fordham University, and currently live with my husband and kids in suburban New Jersey.  I have not seen much of the world, except for a few vacations within the United States and Italy.  As a child, I gravitated towards writing and music, interests I have yet to outgrow!  My first job was playing the piano.  My first business venture was writing.  The two art forms always follow me around. 

I've worked in education, non-profit, and marketing, and most of my experience is social in nature.  I've had to be good with people in order to do my job. 

These days, I live a more fulfilling life, writing content, articles, poetry, and other projects on a freelance basis.  I still love music, and I teach lessons on the side. 

I am easily inspired by my life and the people in it.  I am grateful for the blessings I have, and I love my husband and kids. 

When I write, I enjoy researching facts and drawing from my professional experience, which is diverse.  I've always been a wonderful multi-tasker and it is a quality that serves me well as a creative person.

Arts & Humanities > Artists & Artwork Artwork: Reading the Letter, by Pablo Picasso

1 of 1

"Reading of Letter" is a 1921 painting by Pablo Picasso.  It is quite beautiful and simple, an oil on canvas.  Its current location is as part of the Musee Picasso's collection in France.  The painting depicts two young men, one hovering over the other as they read a letter together.  The mystery in this painting is what makes it special.  Who is the letter from?  Are they sad?  Do they look serious from mere reading concentration?  This is difficult to know.  In fact, this painting has multiple meanings for many who experience it.  Th...
