"...I choose to work specifically with artists because they are my
family, my life, my work and my friends. My clients recognize that I am
a consummate artist. I live and support art and I am totally inspired
by it. I have declared for myself that no one has to pay me to create,
it is my life mission and I do it because I am called to do it."

"I discovered painting and illustration as a teenager, graduated with a
Bachelors in Marketing, worked as a fashion designer, studied dance
with Alvin Ailey, Phil Black and at Broadway Dance Center, earned my
living as a professional actress, produced, directed and I am a pretty
good writer. I am the ultimate rainbow artist."

"I call myself the Artists' Enthusiast because I derive great joy out
of other artists and their courage to create. Yes, I believe it takes
great courage to stand in your unique and God given self-expression..."

"I have fifteen years experience as a professional actress (SAG, AEA
and AFTRA), coach and consultant and I enjoy working with creative men
and women who want to redefine their lives and careers and are ready to
take risks. I particularly enjoy working with artists who, like me,
want to stand up and make a difference."

"My varied talents enable me to bring vibrancy and inspiration to
everything I do and that includes coaching. I am resourceful,
compassionate and committed. I am practical, yet imaginative. My style
is “bottom line” but nurturing. My intuitiveness is keen and possibly
my best asset. I live a good life – a creative life and believe that
everyone deserves prosperity and abundance."

"As for FAYDRA, I utilized my talents as writer, voice-over artist and
illustrator. FAYDRA is one in a series of children stories dedicated to
the relationship I share with my stepdaughter Alia Imani Sharif. She
and I are on a journey together, defining our love and shaped by our
challenges. Simply, FAYDRA is the Cinderella story revisited. I made it
a little more contemporary, added a dash of color and gave it an urban
feel. More importantly, I had a commitment to painting the stepmother
and sisters in a positive light, rather than evil step-people and to
also address the grief of this young girl."


"Champions aren't made in the gyms. Champions are made from something
they have deep inside them - a desire, a dream, a vision."
