I am an artist, currently residing in Wedding,Berlin for a couple months (looking into the vague possibility of visiting here for 2 months a year during our down under winter)...with an exhibition planned in August. I recently left a teaching job at an art school in New Zealand. I am originally from NYC and RI in the USA.. I love New Zealand but also love Berlin.
