Lincoln has been a photographer, activist and filmmaker since her late teens on the East Coast. She was involved in the Vietnam War inspired student protests in New York City. She participated in street theater and worked with underprivileged children during the Harlem riots of the mid-sixties.

She went to film school in LA, and worked on productions at the American Film Institute. In the 90's, she worked at the University of Arizona's Center For Creative Photography and founded the acclaimed "More Exposure Project" which taught photography to at risk children.

Lincoln has always traveled with a still or movie camera. In 1991, she went to Tajikistan and Uzbekistan and backpacked over the Pamir Mountains to document the Muslim culture in this region. One of her murals from this series was purchased for the Arizona Governor's Art Award.

Her previous award-winning documentary film, "Drowning River", celebrates the environmental activism of 1950's starlet, Katie Lee. It tells the story of this feisty woman's 50-year battle against the Arizona politics and corporate agendas that "murdered" her beloved Glen Canyon. The concept for the film grew out of Lincoln's concern for the massive disappearance of wilderness and wild rivers in the West.

The film has enjoyed festival success and has screened at the Taos Mountain Film Festival, Aspen Shorts Film Festival, Sedona International Film Festival, Flagstaff Mountain Film Festival, Topanga Film Festival and The Big Easy Film Festival.

Cosy Sheridan has been called "one of the era's finest and most thoughtful singer/songwriters." She has played everywhere from Carnegie Hall to the Philadelphia Folk Festival and is the winner of numerous songwriting awards. Her music has appeared in best-selling author Robert Fulghum's book, Third Wish, as well as on The Dr. Demento Show and NPR's Car Talk. Now, in her critically acclaimed new CD Eros (WindRiver), Sheridan weaves a cycle of songs about love.

Together with her partner TR Ritchie, an award-winning songwriter himself, this is one of the most entertaining and intelligent touring acts on the folk concert circuit. Sheridan is a storyteller as well as songwriter; she moves seamlessly from lyrical story into song and back again. Her modern renditions of mythology (meet Hades as a biker) have won her fans and praise from the press. The Cornell Folksong Society says, "Sheridan is frank, feisty, sublimely and devilishly funny. She fuses myth with modern culture; Persephone with Botox."

She first appeared on the national folk scene in 1992 when she won the songwriting contests at both the Kerrville Folk Festival and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival and released her critically acclaimed CD, Quietly Led on Waterbug Records. Folk Music Quarterly wrote: "When she's accepting her Grammy, we can say we knew her when."

She has released 9 CDs and written a one-woman show: The Pomegranate Seed - An Exploration of Appetite, Body Image and Myth in Modern Culture, and co-founded The Moab Folk Camp with Ritchie. She is a regular songwriting and performance teacher at adult music camps across the country, among them The Puget Sound Guitar Workshop in Washington and The Swannanoa Gathering in North Carolina.
