Profile for Livingatnight

Born in Chile,in 1952, I'm a published author of books in English and in Spanish; teacher, lesbian artist, grandmother (of two!), upcycle designer, and I am searching for ways to create and live in harmony (See http://marianaromo-carmona.wordpress.com for writing about teaching literature).

I love being able to make each piece a different creation! With my dog, Poppet (a 12-yr-old rescued Bichon) I spend time in my studio, hammering, tinkering, early mornings, and many late nights. The title of my 1997 novel, Living at Night, is the inspiration for my eclectic designs.

My brother, John David, who is a visual artist, joins me at LivingatNight with prints of his original paintings.
