I am a multi-dimensional artist and designer working in found objects, chalk, video, drawing, illustration, painting, and murals. I have enjoyed an adventurous career as a graphic designer, commercial artist, marketing director, kayak instructor, retail manager and am currently focused on gardening, interior design, finish painting and carpentry. I am continuously working on growing my artistic practice and experiences, while harnessing my creativity and honing skills that I can use to make an income - and often cross-pollinating these pursuits. I make art to celebrate freedom, humor, joy and non-conformity; as well as seeing and revealing the unsettling reality of our times.
