CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy and learn as much as I can - and to bring those lessons to the canvas

ABOUT ME

I am always on the go with the next project- art is the reason my heart beats. I thrive around people and sharing ideas, and I love to savor life- including everything it throws at me;)
I love going dancing and hitting up house parties, art galleries, road trips, chatting at coffee shops or in the parks, and building fires on the coast at night with a six-pack. I'm not too picky on adventures ;)And Nothing beats experiencing new things.

PHILOSOPHY

I would have to sum it up with Brian Greene's "String Theory" :) - a lovely idea.
I believe connections happen thru harmonies - things resonate together for a reason. If I can touch someone with my art or with my actions, and if I am being true to myself and to my expressions, then I am truly living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I adore this site because of all the amazing people I have met all over the world! I got to host for the first time when I was living in Lake Tahoe. And, as soon as I get settled here in Columbus- I will definitely be available for hosting again. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed in Europe and it was wonderful to experience different lifestyles with great people. And the group meetings were so thrilling. Excellent to meet all the other travelers and hosts and swap stories and information.
My first experience was staying with Rene in Paris for a group exhibition I was in! He was the best host ever!!!
