CURRENT MISSION

Everything that happens is from now on

ABOUT ME

I decided to move down to Arequipa for a while to set up my studio and work on my art. I had been busy pleasing my clients with the artwork they wanted for far too long now, and I am in need of some serious art therapy. I volunteer part-time at an orphanage here in Arequipa where I have painted several large wall murals and am planning on completing a few more in my time down here. The kids are amazing! I also have a special interest in photography and film, and am doing post-production on a television commercial I filmed for a city up in Oregon. I am looking for fellow artists and art lovers to hang out with down here, so if you can, drop me a line and we can grab some drinks and shoot the shit

PHILOSOPHY

I feel like I've been given a lot: a family who loves me, etc... and we are all required to give back as well. that's what I want to do. To give back. Maybe couchsurfing is part of this!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My friend Marty, an experienced couchsurfer, convinced me to join up. So here I am! Whee!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My home has been an open oasis for friends, friends of friends and friends of friends of friends of friends for years now... I just thought I should make it official by joining couchsurfing! And I'm excited to meet you people!

Interests

The visual arts, music, theology, watching funny cat videos on youtube, film, junk drawers, chromatic grays, descending bass lines, etc. I would eventually like to start an NGO that helps artists connect with places that need the visual arts. Food and shelter are important, and after that the dialogues of heart are important too!
