Amber book signing

Overview

I've been busking typewriter poetry on the Venice Beach Boardwalk, at festivals and art walks, and music events for years. I even a paid residency every Thursday night at Fortune Lounge in the Pearl District last year! I'm a soul child of the Beats and the Gypsies, with a funky Portland flair. I am also a published writer and hold a BA in Creative Writing from California State University.

My setup includes a beautiful vintage typewriter, signage, lights, a table & chair, paper & illustrations. I dress like a mystical steampunk pirate poetess and have the energy to match. I would love to jazz up your event with my unique craft & create memorable experiences for your guests all night long.
