Hi... I'm Doreen Peri

[Doreen Peri]

Hi... I'm Doreen Peri and I created this site by pushing "install" for the phpBB software on my website host's control panel on July 10, 2004.

The tagline for Studio Eight is "Uniting the Arts." Studio Eight supports artists who delve in all genres of art. If you are a poet, a writer, a musician, a visual artist or a performance artist, you might enjoy this website. Feel free to announce your news and events, your books, cds, performances, web site updates, etc., and have fun posting your writings and artwork and interacting with other community members.

Personally, I'm old enough to know better but young enough to keep having fun. I enjoy writing poetry, painting, playing the piano, singing, performing my poetry, dance, live theater, films, swimming, playing scrabble, and gardening. I'm in the middle of figuring out how to make some major changes in my life and I'm getting very excited about it!

I live in Virginia about 20 miles west of DC.

Nice to meet you.

Hi Lightning Rod. I'm glad you enjoy it here. Sure, a lot of people had a lot to do with building this community by participating in it! And I appreciate each and every one of them! Looking forward to reading your introduction and the introductions of all the other studio eighters!

I know this lady Doreen...

she does not just speak of music
she creates it
she does not just write of dreams
she lives them
she does not just promise love
she loves

she is a priestess on fire,
her eye-consciousness is on fire,
her soul is on fire.

and
she recognizes the spark in others
and fans their flames.

namaste
