PRETTY PlEASE

Food marks most of the special occasions in my life from birthdays and vacations to weddings and anniversaries.  Some of you are aware that my husband Jon and I sing together as the Pea Pickin’ Hearts, and food often makes our gigs memorable too.  One of my favorite gigs includes the Spring & Fall Gatherings at the Cliff Dwellers Gallery, where we sing on the front porch and are rewarded with a pea-themed lunch.  This next Call is a perfect fit for the ladies of the Cliff Dwellers, and hopefully it will be a fit for you too…

Moses is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate in English of St. Olaf College and has a master’s degree in visual communication from the University of Minnesota. 

Moses was on the visual faculty of the world’s leading training institution for mid-career journalists, the Poynter Institute for Media Studies, for four years and served as a Pulitzer Prize juror in photography in 2006. When she is not editing the magazine, Moses paints, makes jewelry, works with handmade paper, and dabbles in clay.
