About Me

Lurana rhymes with piranha. One thing about me though is that I'm not going to write about myself in the third person on my own site. 

I wanted to go into international peace work so I have a B.A. in Political Science with a minor in Middle Eastern studies. Instead, I've taken many side quests to develop personal peace. My adult life has focused on mothering two amazing daughters and learning to mother myself. I am a survivor of trauma and existential despair.

The arts have always been my lifeline. I also play the piano (as a professional accompanist since I was a teenager) and create mixed-media art.
