She has been a performing and recording artist in the world of folk music for over thirty years, with fifteen recordings left in her wake, and many with national awards. She is a well-known songwriter whose songs have been featured in both the Unitarian Universalist and Quaker Hymnals as well as in both national music textbook series.
