CURRENT MISSION

Travelling for my art tour.. trying to get my paintings into the Art World as much as possible in different cities. I seek supportive couch surfing hosts as each painting gets into a nearby gallery or exhibition. Some people keep diaries to document their feelings & thoughts; I use paintings to react to current events and to incite dialogue about the world around us. I'm working on getting a blog launched soon that follows my travelling & creation experiences.

ABOUT ME

29 years old, female from Rochester, a mid-sized city in upstate NY . Adventure, travelling, and writing are my hobbies. New people and new experiences drive creative energy!

PHILOSOPHY

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect with like-minded, adventurous spirits, to exchange thoughts experiences and ideas. Couch surfing is a culture of togetherness, creativity, and making new connections... new experiences and environments inspire my work and I look forward to sharing it with new people.
