About

While I have held many jobs throughout life, I consider myself first and foremost an artist!  I think about art obsessively and cannot imagine life without creating in one form or another.  Whether it's painting, silversmithing, guitar/singing, tattooing, programming or even just gardening, I am constantly thinking of ways to bring ideas to life.  Striking a balance between work family, and my interests in all things creative is a constant struggle, but one that brings me intesne joy!  It means the world to me that you have expressed interest in what I do here.  Thank you for reading this.
