About Me

“You can feed and clothe a person, but to what end? The arts are where we discover and express our humanity, privately or collectively. They provide us the tools to share our common joy and grief, to find communion with each other, to pass our stories and wisdom from one generation to the next. If everything is taken from us but life itself, what remains? Our voices, our bodies. With that alone, our humanity may be preserved." Claire Peeps
Artist, Curator, Photographer, creative consultant, event coordinator, conceptualist, loving, Human, Alive, Passionate, Driven, Hardworking, Romantic, Kind to those who are kind. I love the sun, It always makes me smile to feel it on my skin.
I bike and moped most places.
I collect plants. I want to see the world through my own eyes. Life is quite strange. I fear not the reaper. Im just trying to live.
"To say yes to one instance is to say yes to all eternity" Be conscious of your existence, mindful of your actions, and accept the responsibilities of being self aware.

We live together, we act on, and react to, one another; but always and in all circumstances we are by ourselves. By its very nature every embodied spirit is doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude. Sensations, feelings, insights, fancies—all these are private and, except through symbols and at second hand, incommunicable. We can pool information about experiences, but never the experiences themselves. The mind is its own place.
