About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Inspire my creativity.

ABOUT ME

Laid back, friendly, love humor. I love to read, write, poetry, short stories. I like photography and video. I like to document my travels and anything that inspires me. I am in constant search for inspiration in the arts, whether its going to a concert and standing together with hundreds of people, or being in solitude surrounded by nature. I like to work with my hands, and are currently working in different artistic projects, that range from video, to art installation. I love life and I am in constant search for inspiration.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy , is to always do everything for the feeling of life. Be spontaneous, and at the same time plan ahead. Enjoy and try everything once.

Interests

I love any form of artistic expression. I play music, listen to it. I work manly with video and photography with inner city students, and teach about the power of participatory methods. I love to read, write, and have stimulating conversation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Most Amazing thing I have experienced , was traveling into San Jose del Pacifico in Oaxaca, Mexico. We travelled 4 hours up a mountain , filled with beauty , and the smell of clouds. At the top , we shared food , and stared at the beautiful horizon while my soul left my body.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach participatory photography to inner city youth in San Diego , and Tijuana. I collaborate with various art organizations in Mexico and California, I work with video in different visual projects, where crossing borders is an every day thing. I want to learn about what is like to live in another part of the world, where nobody knows who I am , and I don't understand the language. I like to document my travels, and share my experiences to find inspiration.
