I am a native Californian, who grew up along and on the Pacific, and that should explain my love for writing poetry about the sea. At the same time, I have written narrative, romantic, and fairy-theme poems that were created with other backgrounds and foreign lands in mind.
I attended college in Alaska, where I studied art and history, and then devoted much time to traveling, for leisure, and the sake of gathering impressions, for writing poetry.
My husband and I live in Torrance, just a short distance from the beach, where I still look for writing subjects and inspirations. I would be hard-pressed to single out my favorite poets, and by no means has my poetry been influenced by anyone in particular, but I lean toward the traditional forms.
