Curiosity, not ambition.

Mixed media artist, dirtbag conservationist, and general hobo just drinking coffee and reveling in neutral chaos.

Spent the last three years sporadically hitchiking and backpacking in the Pacific Northwest, making murals in California, and doing trail work for the National Park Service around the Southwest.
Very passionate about trees and dirt, and no closer to settling down.

Always looking for new communities and fellow enlightened weirdos to reflect perspectives and human kindness shared through stories, food, and creative outlets.

Moving to Santa Fe, New Mexico, for a work trade at a hostel! There will much arting and conversations to be had.

Music, Movies, and Books

Some of my favorite writers are Edward Abbey, Frank Herbert, Robert M. Pirsig, Rainer Maria Rilke, Charles Bukowski, John Krakauer, Alan Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Neal Cassidy, W.H. Davies, and Kurt Vonnegut.

Big fan of cult classics, documentaries, old samurai films, and weird science fiction.

Music, I dabble anywhere between 1920's Jazz, to 90's grunge and punk, to old country and bluesy-folk-banjo-songs. Depends on the day!
