About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm creatively curious about everything. I make puppets out of vegetables, cardboard, bits of junk. I write a lot. I am a working musician/ portrait artist, shadow puppeteer/performance artist I am writing a novel and I write a lot of songs.
Don't drink much at all, Don't smoke but love good conversation especially the goofy and eccentric kinds. Love hitch-hiking and meeting characters. I've lived in Australia, Europe and Canada in many different situations. I like to play ping pong and I get really competitive in a ridiculous way. My friends are pressuring me to go to clown school. Have had many experiences - Hairy, scary, beautiful, strange and wonderful. I collect stories and people are full of stories.
