As a fervent believer in the power of artistic endeavors to reshape and alter how we think and live, I have dedicated my energies to making work in a variety of fields, including: fine art, arts education, publishing, film, and social activism.
I am fascinated by what is hidden, in the world behind the world, in the interior lives of human beings. Everything we do, from how we interact with others to how we treat the planet, is the result (or lack thereof) of an inner creative vision. I seek to further an aesthetics of strength, empathy, openness, and those qualities necessary to shaping a resilient and meaningful existence.
I am looking for creative community and professional opportunities that will enrich my practice as an interdisciplinary artist and leverage my experience working collaboratively via writing, curation, and live performance.
