About Jeanne

a work in progress . . . with many traumas of varying intensities and life experiences revealing a Power beyond explanation, I am more open and less defined than in years past - raised in a fundamentalist Judeo-Christian home, I spent my young adult years searching for “truth” in many places and “unlearning” much of what I “knew” and that has drawn me to explore many other paths and gain from the journeys of others. My childhood was spent living in many places in the United States due to my family's music or ministry—The Hicks Family, made up of Olan and Barbara Hicks, my younger brothers, Clint and Chuck and me, sang in different combos (put out an album) - we do so no longer professionally . . . but, until my parents’ passing, a visit to a family gathering in Searcy would bring you to hear some harmonizing and foot-tapping sounds! Music still speaks to my heart. Photography and graphic design are primary aspects of the path God has me walking - new lessons come often as I observe and ponder the world around me and learn from creation—so exciting!
