I’m an oil painter who is just trying to figure out what it’s all about to be an artist, to survive in the world and to thrive as an independent person. Instead of a fancy artist bio, I will just say — I’m an artist, a painter, a photographer, I wanted to be a musician before I figured out that I couldn’t sing. A many-years blocked writer, a lover of life, love and magic. A frustrated poet, a shaman-wanna-be, a fame-and-fortune seeker, adventurer, athlete-in-training, neo-luddite, retired foodie, comedienne, extroverted introvert, recovering insomniac, heart-hunter, joker, reluctant puzzled puzzler.
