Artist | Researcher | Writer | Illustrator | Producer
searching ever for the weird, liminal, inexplicable, for it is there my work dwells.
Here's a nice list of the ways different institutions have acknowledged the existence of my work.
Other art- related experience include three years a professional screen printer and organizer in the midwest, one year as a museum educator in Miami, eleven years of independent audio and podcast production, and a lifetime of crafting&creating ephemera.
