About

Sprungvision is a place where I share hidden gems of art, music, science, health, spirituality and more by which I have been influenced. My vision for this online magazine sprang from my appreciation of these inspiring websites.

I am a photographer and an Emmy nominated film & television editor & director.

Offerings and inspirations for body and soul are at my other website, Some Secluded Spot. There, you can learn more about me and my work as an experiential astrologer and a tai chi & meditation instructor.
