CURRENT MISSION

Leading a healthy lifestyle, always creating/imagining/learning

ABOUT ME

I'm a working artist by day and waitress by night trying to find a balance! My dedicated Ashtanga Yoga practice definitely helps with that. Portraiture is what I find most interesting and I tend to find something extremely beautiful in any person I meet almost immediately. Joining CS is more motivation to get out of MKE and travel around the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Always finding inspiration to stay positive, help others and create a beautiful collection of work.

Music, Movies, and Books

As far as films go, I love really beautiful imagery and not so much dialogue - when the piece is more about the viewers imagination and interpretation. Most recently I was really moved by 'Adrift' a 2009 Brazilian film directed by Heitor Dhalia.

I'm a major sucker for pop music I can shake my hair to :)

Currently I'm reading The Architect of Flowers by
William Lychack.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ran sound for a documentary called 'The Penelope Project'. This experience was all about living in the moment with elders who have Dementia or Alzheimer's by incorporating them into a site-specific theatre piece based on The Odyssey. Ah-mazing work, play, experience, and film in the making!

Participating in a short film piece about me and my work as an artist. This short film was seen by many all over the country and one woman was so inspired she flew me out to her home in New York to photograph a very personal shoot.
