About Me

I am an artist, I live to paint and draw... take that away and I am nothing... besides that I love nature, rock n roll, and ice cream but not necessarily in that order... this is kinda neat its like I'm writing my own liner notes or something... wooohoooo

"TB: The Tuberculosis Blues"

This is a film that I made in my 2nd year sculpture class. I made it for an art show at the Kamloops Museum and Arnica Studio, called "ArteFacts." The film was shot out at the abandoned Tranquille Creek Sanitorium in March and April of 2006.
