Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Make Visual art, music, going out and travelling balance with my job as a visual art teacher while having lots of crazy unexpected experiences enlarge my vision of the world
ABOUT ME
Hard question..
I love in life:
- meeting new people
- discovering new areas
- learning by experience
- doing outdoor sports
- spending time, a day, a night, to do visual arts
- dreaming about the next possible travel
- reading in bed and listening to the rain outside
- waking up early just to go drink a coffee and read the newspaper.
- shopping for clothes, or for food in small markets
- playing music (guitar and singing) alone or with a group wich is even more fun.
- beeing a geek for one day and playing computer games.
- Going to the beach
- Doing crazy stuff like hitch hiking between spain and france just to see the snow on top.
- painting with music on maximum level.
- walking with my backpack in a place I don't know.
- going out until the next morning with friends
- eating sushis with a bottle of white wine
- teaching art with kids or teenagers.
- allowing myself to be on the moon (être dans la lune?)
Oder things: I am half canadian and austrian. I'm now a student in Université du Québec à Montréal and I normaly work in several different places at the same time. I worked in schools, museums, parcs, coffe shops, restaurants, camps, etc. I have to many plans for the future, but I try to treat myself.
PHILOSOPHY
Live the life you dream of.
