Currently, I am a MAAT student at SMWC. This a several leaps and decades from my BFA in 3D Computer Animation at SCAD.
I have tapdanced in musicals, sang in jazz clubs, programmed in Houdini, instructed art in public and private schools in the US and Italy, run a party planning business, and done freelance with some interesting companies. Currently, I run three blogs and an online art group via Zoom.

I mock commercial imagicide in social media, study the gender stereotypes and two-spirit art in indigenous peoples, and encourage the co-creation of art by communities in crisis; as a way to combat the in red anxiety of my x-millennial generation.
Grad Students don’t actually make art, ahahhahahhaaaa.
No, I do.
