À propos de moi

I am an artist from the Metro Detroit area utilizing oil paints and canvas to express the beauty of queer life. Over the past year I have made many changes to my path. I recently left my corporate job to pursue my art full time.

Through the pandemic I discovered that I had a talent for painting and expressing myself. I know that I can take this somewhere and I have the chance now to jump in with both feet. I don't want to live with a what if...

Spring of 2021 I was lost. I decided to set out on a road trip to recenter myself. I traveled west from Detroit to SLC, up to Seattle, down to San Diego then followed Route 66 back to Detroit. On the trip I reconnected with myself and captured it in a series of video journals and drone footage. In fall of 2021 I took a look back at the footage and edited it into a documentary "What Makes Me" telling my story.

I love the outdoors: hiking, biking, backpacking. Im a fan of a good craft beer and a night out with friends.

Generally I am very social though I love my alone time too.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

The start of 2022 I decided I wanted to get back out on the road and continue to travel around the country meeting new people and continuing the journey of growing myself. I left the comforts of having a regular paycheck so I am stretching my savings a far as I can while I building up my art following
