CURRENT MISSION

To keep creating (I'm an artist) while experiencing as much of this world as possible (the traveling bug is hitting somewhat late in life)

ABOUT ME
I am a lifelong artist, and I’m currently making one-of-a-kind clothing and jewelry. I’m also a fledgling pattern designer.. I am a swimmer, bicyclist, former river guide (rafting) and when in the mountains, hike and ski. I look forward to doing a lot more traveling over the next decade, meeting great folks and taking in new experiences.

PHILOSOPHY
Make time for your friends and family now! Make beautiful things. Be kind and supportive. Be resourceful and conserve resources. Have fun.
