As an Artist-Philosopher, I am interested in collaborative thinking and doing which builds from a philosophical engagement with community and expression in many forms. Gustave Flaubert once said, “Be regular and orderly in your life so that you may be violent and original in your work.” I have been trying to achieve this goal simultaneously with defining what life and work mean to me. My studio creations are work that makes its own sense out of life, including travel and meeting others graciously.
