About Me

I'm an treehugging artist living and working in Seattle. By day, I work
in a non profit. I also have been known to work as an
Americorps member, a store manager, an editor,
a writer, a graphic designer, a conference organizer, a retail clerk,
a library assistant, a web site designer, a photographer, a
darkroom assistant, a courtesy clerk (that means "bagger")
and a teacher. But art's where it's at for me.
