Hey! My name is Joey and although I graduated with a BS in genetics and cell biology, I spend most of my time creating visual art and music. I love painting with acrylics on board in order to create large, expressive portraits of people I meet at home or in my travels. With music, I play guitar and bass and enjoy writing music with my friends - I gravitate towards experimental stuff like noise rock, hardcore punk, metal, jazz, and progressive rock. I'm currently applying to physician assistant school and traveling around the U.S. for interviews.
