I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me



I am a writer and artist from the Midwest.Smith and I make art, take photos, write poems and explore. We're free range life forms.

I make art with copper corrosion and garbage from places I visit, like plastic bits that have fallen off cars and landed on the side of the road.
