"I am a Translingual (multilingual) queer lyrical poetess, visual expressionist artist, and translator of the sacral essence. Invoking divine feminine wisdom, activating sensuous intuition, and embodying spiritual, erotic writing I intertwine the corporeal and emotional existence. Guiding readers into a conscious journey into the human introspective conversation, inviting into a conscience pilgrimage, connecting with the heart's internal dialogue. My sensual, embodied erotic style, a spiritual somatic journey, awakens mysteries of intuition, transforming vulnerability into eloquent storytelling."
