I started out as a nutritionist and converted to the arts later on.
I guess that is why my art often revolves around the themes of food and everyday life.
When I am not working on my own art, I teach printing to children and the elderly and also print for other artist.
I draw to relax, bike to get around and can walk for hours on a day off.
I mostly wake up in a good mood and I am always up for a good laugh.
Friends would qualify me as a patient and happy guy.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing offers me the opportunity to meet locals when traveling.
I prefer life behind the scenes of obvious tourist attractions while connecting with community.
As I can't offer a place to stay for the moment, I am always ready to meet up for coffee or lend a helping hand.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I have been an artist in residence in both the Uk and Barcelona.

I saw the little mermaid statue in Copenhagen.

I volunteered for the Children's library project on the coast of Oaxaca: https://www.facebook.com/Proyecto-Bibliotecas-Infantiles-En-La-Costa-De-Oaxaca-243116435856604/?fref=ts

On my trip to England, I found an opened bottle of red wine on the side of the road next to farm land in the middle of nowhere. life is good!

I lived on a rooftop with the 360 view of the mountains and the city of Oaxaca.
