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.

Van Gogh's Bedroom Now - Replete With Traveler's Chest and Bunny Slippers


I am a big fan of the variations of The Bedroom by Van Gogh and have been blessed to see some of the originals. This is (as are all my pieces) done from feeling rather than from looking at a picture... it captures the sweetness that his pieces take me, and I like to think of him now as being in sweet place. I don't think he got to see or experience sweetness in his life time (except perhaps through painting.)

He sure has blessed us by pointing out sweetness' unique, bright essence within his paintings...
