ABOUT ME

I am an artist, dancer, and lover of life. Nature is my biggest inspiration. I have a big heart and love to connect with community all over the world. I am very personable and tend to make friends of all different sorts. Recently I am realizing that less is more and I value a life of simplicity. Nature, art, and human relationships are the main things that make up a fulfilling life for me.

PHILOSOPHY

Creativity and Authenticity is where it's at ;)
