CURRENT MISSION

No mission is a good mission.

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. I am an artist interested in the investigation of identity through ones geography, proximity, and one's nostalgia based on their personal history both past and present. I enjoy nature, road trips, exploring, hiking, swimming, art, museums, eating, live performance, and sharing moments with interesting people.

PHILOSOPHY

We all record and process things differently so let us try to understand each other with an open mind. Speak from the heart with intensity, honesty, and poetry.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The birth of many new born calves, the burning season in Honduras, the milky way at Sinai, the adhan from the minaret at Chebron, the grand canyon, the many solemn silences of peace in quaint space. Machu Picchu in the morning. Mexico City. Petra, in Jordan all alone hiking out in the dark accompanied by a cat.
