About Me

My photo
United States
I am a multidimensional, hands-on creative artist and poet with a San Diego based home studio. Having always been too curious and too creative, I have continually studied a variety of artistic disciplines and philosophies throughout my life with established teachers...unstable teachers, artists, schools and whatnot. This, paired with a lifelong investigation into spirituality, has given me a large creative toolkit from which to draw ;) and interest to (respectively) play with, break, challenge, modify, ignore and celebrate the rules related to the aforementioned studies. I am a strong believer in not messing with a child's innate curiosity and wonder, the value of family (however defined), individual creativity, community, and our environment. I continue to study and enjoy creative expressions-with the exception of acid jazz. Some common characteristics found within my work are: re-purposing everyday items and discard-able things, harmonizing opposites, playing with current beliefs and assumptions with a whimsical twist, and delicately blending spontaneity with discipline. The end results are simple, joyful expressions of wonder imbued with an invitation to discover more.

The Playground




  
     There is  a place
where  the everything meets  the nothing
                                                       and failure’s laughter  finds no ear to hold.

        Toys of words  are played upon –    supporting  weightless  bodies

                           


and worlds of work   are tossed about    with  effortless  meaning s

       
 Time only tickles here
   forgetting it’s self,

  and the sun only shines - from the inside  out
                                 
                                            While the all   is forever  cared for,
                           
                                                              regardless
                 
                                              regardless of reality’s knots.
