ABOUT ME
Wanderlust. I'm a jeweler at heart but I also like working with others through the arts to inspire healing. My current work involves art therapy with women who are deferring jail to go to drug rehab. And my artwork involves a lot of goauche, collage materials, and making gold jewelry. I'm kind of all over the place as far as my interests go.

I'm working on a Master's degree in Art Therapy at the moment, so that takes up A LOT of time.

Obviously I love travel or I wouldn't be on CS. I also enjoy simple pleasures: great coffee, a nice beer, sunshine, going to galleries and museums, reading fiction, swimming, bonfires, and making a nice meal.

Some of my dearest friends are people I met on CS. If you're interested in surfing with me, please let me know a bit about yourself and why you're interested in staying with me. I think we have the opportunity to create some incredible experiences when we approach things with intentionality.

PHILOSOPHY
I believe in a sort of ordinary magic which surrounds us every day. It is hidden in our lives. It is more than luck, good fortune, deja vu, dreams, manifestations. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but I can feel its presence and see more and more of it each place I roam.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to solder (not the electronics kind but the silver kind), show you the best coffee shops around here, tell you all about art therapy, and show you how to bake like a southern lady (it involves a lot of butter).
