Walkabout.

ABOUT ME

This fall I arrived in Berlin to do a year of scholarship at the Freie Universität. I graduated from the University of Minnesota in the spring of 2009 with a B.F.A. in studio art. I've shown my work in a number of galleries at this point, and I am currently preparing for a show in Minneapolis in November. I dedicate much of my time to my art.
When im not in the studio, I love to travel and meet new people. I love good vegetarian cuisine (a lot of asian) and a good loaf of bread. Im always listening to new music, alot of american 'indie'(although not so independent anymore), electronic, folk, .....
You get the point.

im vegetarian, and i dont smoke.

PHILOSOPHY
