VALUES

Hello! I have found myself spending a lot of time these past few years meditating on what really makes me happy, why I chose this path, and what I actually value about the art I create.

I find the greatest joy when I am creating in the natural world with children, painting and design in conjunction with plays, new work, climate justice, and work that inspires community engagement. I love how art can push the boundaries of the way a community interacts with itself and views the stories children can tell. I love process and collaborating with people who inspire each other. I dream to build work all around the country that treats young artists as equals to adult artists, fosters a widened perspective, and provokes questions rather than provides answers.

I also have a growing presence and engagement with agriculture and the climate, and deep fascination with technology/science in conjunction with theatre. I spent the past few years of the pandemic working and living on a farm with incredible climate activists and people close to the land. This has synthesized into a passion for art and theatre that explores growth and behavioral patterns in nature as a reflection of patterns in human self and society.

I am currently flowing where the wind takes me and putting my energy into fostering connections in these artistic and agricultural worlds - doing with gusto what makes me happy, while building relationships and skills to one day put towards facilitating a multi-generational residency program for artists that fosters youth engagement in the arts/natural world and provides a place for elders to rest and educate.

Please reach out if you’d like to connect/collaborate! :)
