ABOUT ME

I've been living in NY on and off for 10 years and this is home, only I'm having trouble finding a place. I'm an artist, graphic designer, model, photographer, and writer with an extensive portfolio. I love what I do and I always hope to contribute more.

PHILOSOPHY

"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage."
~ Anaïs Nin

"Don't let's ask for the moon, we have the stars."
~ Bette Davis | Now Voyager, 1942

"They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself."
~ Andy Warhol

"Beneath it is all dark, it is all spreading, it is unfathomably deep;
but now and again we rise to the surface
and that is what you see us by."
~ Virginia Woolf

"Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination."
~ Oscar Wilde

"First you have to know and understand intellectually what you want to do - then you have to sleepwalk a little to reach it."
~ Lawrence Durrell

"This is the best thing to wear for today, you understand. Because I don't like women in skirts and the best thing is to wear pantyhose or some pants under a short skirt, I think. Then you have the pants under the skirt and then you can pull the stockings up over the pants underneath the skirt. And you can always take off the skirt and use it as a cape. So I think this is the best costume for today. I have to think these things up . . . you know."
~ Little Edie (Edith Bouvier Beale)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am always looking for something to connect with, so that I can contribute something while I'm here. Whether it's photographing street art (I have a book out of my street art photography) or writing little tidbits for an Australian-based arts-related website, I find things that interest me and I share them on the interwebs.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I've only couch surfed when I had a stable home. Mostly it was to go to concerts in places like Atlanta or Athens, Georgia. One of my favourite couch surfing experiences was on a road trip to Atlanta, when I went to see Motorhead play, one Halloween.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There was that time I saw the Yeti. My pictures came out all blurry though.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy meeting people from all walks of life. I'm more adept at conversation with people in the arts, but I'm always open to learn something. My first room mate was a history teacher and we got along great. He was the best room mate ever.
