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.

Drink Pouch Flower








Environmentally speaking, drink pouches bum me out.
They are however, a surprisingly good art medium.
This flower came about after my son brought an empty pouch home in his lunch box -- having swapped something from his own lunch in order to acquire it. I do not support the "respect the pouch" philosophy - he will not get one supplied by me.
Finding myself annoyed, again, at one of these little things, I decide to see what light could come out of it... grabbed a pair of scissors and
