welcome!

I am so glad you’re here.

I am excited by the changes -- not just to the site, but within myself. I like change; it’s reflective of what’s been and yet wildly freeing for the possibility of what can come.

I’ve called the site “refining rosie”. It’s obviously still about me and my music, but as I move forward in my exploration of life, I want to share so much more with you. I know the substance of who I am won’t change, but the patina certainly has and will continue to do so.

This is a new time in my life, and in this new place I feel as if I am one of my favorite copper pots… no matter how thick the chemical covering or how long it sat on the pot surface, once polished the beautiful color revives to a reawakening of brilliant shine and expression.

 I am that copper pot -- a work in progress that needs continuous cleaning, renewing and polishing to maintain a radiant color and luster.

I love to play. I love to laugh, frolic, snuggle and nudge. It keeps me youthful, energetic and inspired. When life feels great, my favorite thing to do is cartwheel. It may be a bit harder these days to do, a bit scarier to try, but nonetheless as thrilling as it ever was.

I like my life to feel like a cartwheel – free, expansive, boundless and fun.

I have delightedly raised three wonderful children with whom I have had the privilege of sharing in all of their personal achievements, trials and youthful endeavors, and the allowance of sharing all of my artistic and inspirational explorations with their receptive hearts.

I have followed my heart in music through the creation of my CD’s and performance opportunities and have had the pleasure, good fortune and adventure of working with tremendously gifted musicians and artisans.

I have unabashedly explored and discovered many areas of art, music, gardening, cooking, entertaining, and other “earthy” creations through wood, metal, clay, paint, fabric, fibers, plants and food.

I have experienced the joy and thrill of breeding and raising Ragdoll cats, Norwich Terriers, and English Bulldogs, and I have joyously ridden, driven and cared for Fjord horses, Haflinger ponies and western Quarter horses.

I want to learn more, experience more, share more -- about everything. And I relish the chance to know more about you too.

So I welcome you to come into my site and join me in being playful, sharing with me your joys, your creations, your cartwheels. We have so much to give one another.
