About

My journey has taken me many places- both inside the world of thoughts and feelings and outside in the physical world of creating. I once travelled around the globe (our planet that is) completely by myself starting out on a whim from my boat house, abandoning all I own, and searching, dedicatedly, for meaning and faith.
I am an artist that mixes dance, photography, visual media, objects and sound in order to create works that question the status quo. A mixer and matcher of thoughts, processes and objects. A mother. A believer in God. A Courserian and a graduate of Mount Holyoke College. A sometime corporate worker. A mountaineer.
I come from Bulgaria. I miss my country deeply, but I am also becoming an American. I am forever a passenger on a boat in the Atlantic that some refer to as an immigrant and others an emigrant. Even though it's been 12 years since I set foot in the New World again, by myself, I still feel a part of my heart is not totally here. You see, my mother, father and brother live "in the old country". For that reason, I can never feel complete. 
I have taken many chances to create and I have dreams to continue doing so. This blog is a place for me to break through the isolation and loneliness of motherhood, to display the process of mother-child collaboration (in my case inevitable and truly mesmerizing), to process desire and inspiration, and to document my efforts in growing as an artist, mother and human being. It is a place for me to get to know who I have become and hopefully to get to know you too, dear reader, if you are so inclined to share your own thoughts and processes.  
I truly struggle with writing and I want to improve that particular aspect for ordered sentences and paragraphs never do come easy from this pair of hands. But art does. I want to keep going. I want to show in galleries. There is a reason why I live in the marvelous metropolis of New York City. There are probably more opportunities for me to show here than any other place in the world. So I must give it all.
