I'm an artist, educator, parent and lover of the outdoors. I'm currently based in Maine (USA), but my creative practice takes me many places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to explore new places through meaningful connections with the people that live there. I'm particularly interested in building creative community with artists, designers, architects, urban planners, craftspeople and other curious folks. Most of my travel is anchored around artist residencies.
