Born and grown in the middle West of the United States with roots that extend to the west coast. I am a professional care giver, Skoolie & traveler with a deep need for creating and integrating art into everyday.
my former feet found retired at local coffeeshopInk & paper as my most common expression, I have kept a journal consistently since the age of 8 but have created murals, paintings, sculptures of many materials, illustrations, collage, ritual art, performance (both on stage & behind the scenes), music and clay.
I have a sensitivity to neglect & power dynamics, a drive for justice as defined by those impacted, personal growth, community building, support of youth arts and take my privileges as a white person amongst People Of Color/People of the Global Majority very seriously and work to do my best to continuously do the work that all white people are responsible for. My personal art and creations are not separate from my navigation thru the intersections of my own identities and exist within all the expressions I make.
I am in support Black Lives Matter as a movement, the Land Back Indigenous movement, as well as Being Anti-Fascist & Anti-Capitalist.
I am a white colonizer of Russian/Irish/French/Scandinavian/Norwegian/Danish/German heritage and a Anti-Zionist person of the Jewish Diaspora. I am proudly Queer, Omnisexual/Omnigender, working class and a nonbinary Transgender creature Human. My all encompassing identity is that of an Artist.
I believe in working through and disrupting generational patterns of poverty, trauma as well as taking responsibility for my impact and heritage. I explore identity via my art, deeply personally and ongoingly to process this work.
