Welcome to my ongoing life art project. This space is where I share some of my journeys into the worlds of creativity, radical self expression, and the strange through art.

The project consists of multiple facets, this site, eventually an online shop, and a YouTube blog channel called I Like Needles which takes it’s name from my constant companions in my art approach: needles. I work with wool, textiles and occasionally on paper and skin to produce works of art and indulge my many fascinations and special interests.

It is my hope that, through my artistic self expression, and personal empowerment, I can inspire and challenge you. Not just as consumers of art, but also as human beings, to reach out for further shores of kindness, self-exploration and openness on your journeys. It is my wish to share freely, to live with awareness, curiosity and care in this strikingly beautiful, and often dark world.

While some of the topics that compose my body of work may be ugly, I deeply feel that it is my duty as an artist to render the view as only I, within my individual circumstances, and states of being can. I present this perspective in my projects and writing here. This is my work. I hope you feel it.

Thank you for visiting.
