Working as an artist to provide for my family has been my dream for as long as I remember. It's been crippling fear that has kept me from pursuing my dream for almost as long. With the internet making it easier for artists to reach more potential customers, and technology giving us all access to incredible tools, there are really no valid excuses for not making progress.

My intention for this website is to record the journey while making my dream a reality. Aside from being an artisan focusing on traditional artworks and handmade textiles and jewelry, I want to show my son that it is possible to make a living doing exactly what you want. Being a parent comes with many responsibilities, but showing our children that you can live your passions may be the most important. I want to be able to show my son everything I had to do to get where I want to be. Hopefully this will help him be his best and avoid the pitfalls and mistakes that inevitably come with such an undertaking.
