I am a storyteller. I am an educator. I am a facilitator.
I am an expanding artist and human.
I strive to keep my heart open and my gaze towards the ether, making art that is full of opportunity and inspiration.
I will not let my identity (or anyone else's for that matter) limit the exploration of beauty, fireflies, and flame.
"We begin again. Like the moon."
