There is no ULTIMATE ARRIVAL, WE ARE in perpetual transition - navigating what is, re-arranging, constructing, and imagining what can be.
How much of your world is made up of unexamined stories?
You’ll never know until you inquire. -Byron Katie
You’ll never know until you inquire. -Byron Katie
Among many things, I am a curious human, multimedia artist, and holistic health practitioner who is
in constant conversation with this experience of being alive. Currently, I am drawn to working with
film & digital photography and layering visual elements in relation to the complexity of
processing through the body. I love witnessing and recording, writing, collecting,
sketching, and connecting with modalities that question assumptions about our realities.
I grew up in Denver, Colorado as an observer of the world and people. My deep intrest in recollection,
culture, neuroscience, botanical medicine, rocks, sound, color, clouds, shapes, language, texture,
plants, and personal growth weave closely into my creative practice. I love researching
without a thesis or pre-determined outcome, wandering and navigating through infromation, sensing,
and allowing myself to be surprised.
This phase of life brings continual learning around following the breadcurmbs of inquiry, beauty, and
that which is uncertain, unknown, and uncomfortable. I am in the midst of exploring the varied and
numerous ways we create meaning and story while reaching for my own ever evolving versions
of truth. I look forward to new environments that invite being present for the all the moments
that make up this bizarre and wonderous life.
