CURRENT MISSION

be a good friend. put beautiful things into the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm in the process of moving back to Los Angeles. I've called 10 different cities home. A friend of mine once said I think like a Jane Austen novel. I'm reading her for the first time now. It's not too far off.

PHILOSOPHY

be the change you wish to see // beauty is a driving force.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I once ran away with the fiddle player to atlanta... because I had a friend there to visit. It was the most spontaneous and fun thing I ever did. a week or two later I took a ride with a friend's family all the way to Colorado to see another friend. that was also awesome.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching printmaking. especially the build up to the first print, and the click of joy that happens in someone's head when you say "awesome. you wanna do it again?"
