Writing with Passion

I love to express myself through the written word and most often write on what I know, care to know, love or experience. I write best when something moves me. I am most moved when I go out and experience life. The ink of the page is a piece of my inner sanctum, my personal expression.

Style, Naturally

Style meets substances in this lavishly illustrated, highly informative and beautifully designed book on sustainable fashion and beauty. With over 300 pages and 500 color images, Style, Naturally is written for that woman who loves style but would never have “green” in her lexicon (Chronicle Books, 2009). Available at: Amazon >> Barnes & Noble >> Better World Books

Above Magazine

Above is the first and last magazine on earth to celebrate human’s obsession with true natural beauty and everything that we do to (ironically) destroy it. It passes through the reverie and the reality of our existence – giving a vivid depiction of our present state. It’s refined aesthetic represents the souls of creators, artists, writers, subjects – who believe not only in their craft, but the sanctity of our environment. It is a magazine that foretells our future before we extinguish our own flame — and it does it all with a connoisseur’s eye for style, culture, and taste.” ~ interview with Editor-at-Large, Summer Rayne Oakes for L’Officiel Magazine
