Thanks for taking some time to check out my site and learn about me.

 

Writing an "about me" is hard.  The content is there, but organizing it enough for a pleasant two-paragraph blurb...my mind goes blank. 

So this is the about me you get; and anyway it probably helps you get to know me better than a neat and succinct two-paragraph blurb. 

​

I am a parent(to two humans and one dog), partner, sibling, zizi (gender neutral term aunt/uncle), friend. My family is so precious to me. I've been making art in some way since I was a small kid. Drawing, painting, performance, speaking, crafting, you name it.

I love to create, problem-solve, and make beautiful things. 

​

I've done some really awesome things the last 12 years as an artist. Tattooing, producing burlesque and variety shows, performing in burlesque and variety shows, teaching dance, owning a studio, teaching fellow creators, learning from fellow creators, and so much more. I'm in love with the way art creates a container for connection and meaningful experiences. I'm deeply grateful I get to have this life.  

​

I value curiosity and compassion. I learn and grow in all the ways I can to bring curiosity and compassion into all the ways I show up in the world. I live by "do no harm, take no shit". I am committed to bringing anti-racism, equity, and restorative justice practice into my heart, mind, activism, parenting, and work.
