About me

Established  in Louisiana in 1978, in Austin since 1996, I am a vocalist and plantswoman with over twenty years of experience performing music and installing landscapes all over Austin, and Texas.


My focuses are broad-reaching and diverse. I sing jazz standards, rock covers, western favorites, and more.  Horticulturally, I am a conservationist keen on bringing my clients' landscape visions to life, in whatever style they desire. 


  Over the decades, I've designed and installed hundreds of landscapes, played hundreds of venues, sung thousands of songs, slung millions of plants! I'm here to bring happiness, harmony and light. Need some jazz in your life?
