My Trip
Five years after getting a cherry blossom tree tattoo and pledging that I would go to Japan “someday” I booked a spontaneous trip,
packed                             a  
weird,                              soon
 
to be broken back-pack
and was off to Japan with a cheep, wacky travel company that specialized in “off-the-beaten path” grassroots tours. Hmm. The rest, as they say, is, well, HERstory. The trip, among other things, changed my life.
 
--Thanks for playing and don’t forget-- JUMP and the NET will APPEAR!
                    Love, Marj

My Art
I’ve been a media-maker for years, but a media-maker for hire. I was a workaholic, quite frankly. And then I got off the crazy machine, took a deep breath and found my voice. So, this website is truly the first expression of my VOICE fully expressed. Now I take photos, make docs, share my words, LOVE more and lots more. I hope the same for you, in whatever form it takes!
