Let's cook a really big meal together and I'll tell you all about myself.

ABOUT ME

Currently studying Photography and Performance Art at the Art Institute of Chicago. I've been living here in Chicago since 2011 and am deeply in love with it.

I grew up in, Maryland about 40 min. away from Baltimore and DC. My family lives on the Potomac River on a piece of land that was once a daffodil farm. So still every year hundreds of thousands of daffodils bloom around their house. So with some nostalgia I have many many plants in my apartment. Also as some left over maryland in my soul, I absolutely adore seafood.

A lot of my traveling via couch surfing will most likely be with my wonderful partner Isah. Isah is a performance artist, curator and sculptor who makes wondrous, dreamy things. We're just a couple of easy going cute queers who would love to cook with/for you.

PHILOSOPHY

I am a femme queer activist, doing a lot of work within the Chicago Boystown community. I also have a writing practice and have lead a series of workshops in Chicago galleries. Xoxo
