I’m a multidisciplinary artist and expressive art guide.
I love to draw and paint and write and sing and play the ukulele and play with my dogs and cuddle my cats and watch insects and birds do what they do.
I’m inspired by dreams, active imagination, rhythms of nature, unseen connections, transmutation of experiences, healing.
I love holding space, especially for the flow of creativity, for the muse to come around, for art and beauty to be recognized and born.
I was born in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, and was raised by world. I thought I’d be a nomad forever, but somehow, East Africa has held on to my hat for more than a decade.
