ABOUT ME
I am an Artist and Art teacher in Austin, Texas and wherever work takes me.
PHILOSOPHY
NEED LESS + GIVE MORE
我为什么加入 Couchsurfing
WHY? ...WHY NOT?!
1) To build an international community of well-traveled friends.
2) To introduce people to my current home base, Austin.
3) To share my space, time (if available) and experiences with others.
4) To network and find national and international opportunities to paint murals and make mosaic and large-scale public artworks in the future!
