Her "boutique" web studio, founded in 1995, served clients in the arts, tourism, wellness, and hospitality industries for much of that period.

She is an avid and voracious reader and book collector, specifically antique tomes on history and metaphysics and the American West and Southwest. She's taught students from 6th grade to elders on many topics, from comics creation to writing to digital technology, event production, history, and philosophy.

Currently residing in Taos, New Mexico, she is mom to her 25-year-old artist daughter, a border collie named Jake T. Puppersnout, and three ridiculous cats. She is a talking head with Plutopia News Network (plutopia.io) in her spare time.
