About
A bohemian at heart, I am an artist who lives and works aboard a 36 foot wooden sailboat. I regularly fall in love with people's minds and am fond of making lists. Hugs, of the bear variety, are my favourite. A daydreamer to the core, I procrastinate, obsess, and create in a whirlwind.
I’m a painter. In addition, I draw whimsical illustrations. Many a loved one has appeared under my sketching pen. Human beings are my favourite subject. Every person has a story. And I love a good story.
I have been referred to as a renaissance soul, a free-spirit, an under-achiever, a hard worker, a temperamental sort, an immigrant, a nerd, a loyal friend, a talented artist, music-obsessed, a sailor, a bohemian, a loudmouth. There is at least some truth to all of the above.
I am currently residing in Opua, New Zealand after crossing the Pacific in 2013.
Art is an outsider, a gypsy over the face of the earth. (Robert Henri)
