CURRENT MISSION

To meet a Greek grandmother and from her, learn to cook.

ABOUT ME

I am a person of opposites--reflective and quiet, but then boisterous and theatric, often adapting to whatever situation I find myself a part of. I seek the woods for when I need perspective and balance, and enjoy hiking as often as I can. I am an artist, mostly self-taught, with a hankering to write a graphic novel. I would like to learn how to build my own house and vertical garden and DIY my way into a sustainable lifestyle.

I look forward to sharing and learning with the people that I meet.

PHILOSOPHY

Maybe the highest art is nothing more than a circus attraction: finding balance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I visited South Dakota I took part in a Lakota sweat lodge ceremony, and it was the most powerful sensory event I've ever experienced.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to share a conversation in Spanish and learn how to sew my own clothes. I can teach the art of cooking vegetarian, or linoleum carving.
