Glass Collage
I grew up in a small Catholic-Italian community in the Midwest. I'm a Christian, a single mother, a grandmother, and author of the book GLASS COLLAGE. I received my BA in Liturgical Music while studying organ, piano, voice, and religion.
Before becoming a Born-Again Christian in 2017, I served as a musician/director in more than 100 churches across the United States, directing 35 choirs, ensembles, and cantor programs throughout my 30-year career.
Through the years, I discovered my love of writing while creating poems and other narrative works for friends and colleagues. I enjoy putting my pen to paper and contributing to my weekly blog. In early 2024, I published my 1st book Glass Collage, and am currently preparing the foundation for my 2nd book.
About
As a single mother, living on the West Coast, I lost my job due to the rise in sexual abuse cases against priests, Soon after, I lost my home, and my car. With no support system and family 2,000 miles away, I hit rock bottom. Desperate, I surrendered myself to Jesus Christ. He sent an epiphany, I landed a job, bought an old car, and lived in that car for six months in order to replenish my lost funds. Though challenging, with God's grace and mercy, I found peace, comfort, protection and courage to move ahead. Years later, I turned my brokenness into something beautiful.....my GLASS COLLAGE.
