I pay attention to what I notice as I move through the world, and I try to describe it as honestly as I can. I don’t separate my writing from my art—they come from the same place. Some ideas become stories, like The Great Way Project. Others take shape as images, digital work, or paint. I follow the idea to the form it needs.

Most of my work begins with what’s already around me—fragments, discarded materials, passing thoughts, news, interactions, people, and the environment. What I have access to matters. It shapes what I can make, and how I make it. I create from these fragments—making something new out of what already exists. I also work with what’s already in motion, sometimes harnessing natural forces like wind, gravity, and light as part of the process. The 3Rs—reduce, reuse, recycle—guide how I think and how I work.

I move between words and visuals because each helps me understand something different. Writing helps me think things through. Art lets me sit with what I can’t fully explain. The process isn’t always tidy or planned, but it helps me see things I might have missed otherwise.

I follow what holds my attention. I show up even when I feel unsure. And I keep working, iterating and evolving, trusting that if I stay with it long enough, something interesting will take shape.
