Mother. Sister. Daughter. Cousin. Friend, Union Rep. Attorney, I am a jaded idealist

For the love of it: I am a music student (hammer dulcimer), a photographer, poet. I am also a proud member of the Chicago Complaint Choir. www.complaintschoir.org/chicago/

My motivation: Justice, fair trade, the preservation of the middle class, the elimination of poverty, sociatial civility, all art forms.

I am inspired by the photograph of Diane Arbus, Margaret Bourke White, Ansel Adams.

I love world "folk" music, in particular Klezmer and other Jewish Music and Traditional Irish. My favorite Klezmer band is the Klezmatics.
