About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to make more art than i ever have before

ABOUT ME

I am honest and kind, enjoy having many friends but also doing things on my own. I am creative, patient and independent. I grew up in Germany, then spent many years living on the West Coast in the States and am traveling until I move to Boston, MA to continue my studies.

PHILOSOPHY

try to be thoughtful before taking action; say yes often, but not always; never be afraid to ask questions; if you are patient and willing to ask questions, you can do almost anything; keep an open heart and mind to people and places no matter how brief the time; ideally, be outside at least half the time; on grey days, wear bright colors; surround yourself with people, places, and things that make you feel most you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

seeing the iguazú waterfalls on the argentina-brazil border at night. we were standing above the precipice of the 'garganta del diablo', it was a full moon, there was no artificial light and the only thing we saw was a thick, white mist pouring down into a massive, endless abyss.

Teach, Learn, Share

i can teach you how to draw, paint, felt, knit, crochet, bake, garden. i would like to learn to speak better french, to sail, to make the perfect macaron, to ride my bike without using my hands, to cartwheel.
