I'm a writer, photographer, painter, poet, illustrator and occasional potter.
I currently live and study in Baltimore, Maryland, where I'm finishing my BFA at Maryland Institute College of Art. I love to eat, drink and adventure. I am always reading, photographing and trying new things.
I live with my incredibly intelligent daughter, Sala, whose 3 years old and a force of nature. She'll talk your ear off about baking cakes, octopus tentacles, and dragons.
When we aren't busy with school and art we are outside playing in the mud, hiking and learning about creatures, the planets and any thing she decides she needs to know.
My super awesome dude, Noah is doing a PHD in Semitic Languages and Cultures at Johns Hopkins University and he likes to geek out about all things ancient while I like to geek out about all things modern. :)
