I believe in art and the power of the creative energy that resides in each of us.

People of all ages, races, abilities, sexual orientation, gender, and gender expression are welcome here.

Our earth and its lifeforms are our shared responsibility to protect and preserve.

I strive to reflect these beliefs in the content I create but also recognize that I have a lot to learn.

Following are sources I frequent and support (in alphabetical order):

ASPCA

Black Lives Matter

Everytown

Human Rights Campaign

National Endowment for the Arts

Planned Parenthood

Sierra Club

World Wildlife Fund

My studio is located in Oak Park, Illinois; this area is the traditional homelands of the council of three fires: The Potawatomi, Ojibwe, and Odawa Nations. The Sac, Fox, Myaamia, Ho-Chuck, Sioux, and Menominee have also called this area home. I recognize and respect the contributions these Nations have contributed both artistically and otherwise on the land my studio resides and the surrounding areas.
