Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I am an artist who works a lot with puppet theater. I love traveling and meeting new people.
ABOUT ME
I am a freelance artist who works mostly in the field of experimental puppetry. I have lived abroad a lot--in France, England, Slovakia, South Africa. I love meeting new people, trying new cultural events and am quite sporty and adventurous. I'm pretty
nocturnal, and usually up for evening activity on the town. Love movies and good conversation and am always up for intellectual explorations-
PHILOSOPHY
I am quite open and fluid in my lifestyle. As an artist, I seek beauty everywhere--in faces and souls and expression. I feel best when I can get exercise, connect with other people and feel stimulated creatively or intellectually.
