...the Artist and Teacher
Sid Korpi is a professional dabbler in many arts. An award-winning actress, writer, dancer and artist, her latest passion is painting. Sid is a believer that all forms of art are essential to one’s soul. She is a self-professed animal lover, having two rescue dogs—Prudence, a Westie and Clarence, an American Staffordshire Terrier. A former English teacher—and literal tree hugger, she draws much of her inspiration from literature and the natural world. She has 40 years of teaching experience in a variety of areas. Ferociously entrepreneurial, she has numerous sole proprietorships, including Proof Positive (proofreading & editing), Nonconformist Nuptials (wedding officiant), Hippie Magic Massage, and Sid's Hoofin' Hounds (dog-walking and pet-sitting).

She was awarded the “Best Actress in a Zombie Movie” award for her role in Attack of the Moon Zombies, (true story!) and has starred in House of Ghosts, among other cheesy B-movies. For several years, she was a lead actress with the Murder Mystery Company.
