CURRENT MISSION

To explore

ABOUT ME

I am a freelance artist living in Chicago, IL. I spend my time making art, exploring the city, taking photos, writing about everything, and planning my travels for the upcoming year.

PHILOSOPHY

I live life for the sake of happiness. I want to learn as much as I can and do as much as I can while I am here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far, I am just trying to offer a place to stay to travelers, and hopefully score a couch to sleep on during the summer when I plan on doing some U.S. travel.

Interests

I try to spend all of my time making art, learning or being happy. I love to paint, read, think, go outside and to swim in the ocean.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Everything I do is amazing. My favorites are the feeling of being pushed around by giant waves, running down sand dunes and being on the tops of mountains.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach others how to make art! I paint, draw, sculpt, make books, lino-cut prints, screen prints and anything else I think sounds appealing.
