I am my own adventure maker on a mission of discovery. I love to create things, to draw, to build forts, to paint, to make costumes, to build sets, to tell stories, to get my hands dirty with stinky paint and ink and rusty objects gathered from random places. Creating is essential to my existence. Ever-curious, craving adventure, I rarely let the dust settle. I feel a strong connection to everything. In animals, plants, rocks...even inanimate objects I see life, story, symbolism and metaphor.
