Born in an 8-person town in Canada, I grew up moving around North America. After graduating BU with a degree in Journalism, my path turned when, in 1999, the internet was laying the foundation for a profoundly altered new millennium, and I found myself designing web graphics. I became fascinated with collage and its ability to make meaning by altering context. 



When Web 1.0 crashed, I wandered around the world, filling myself with visual and spiritual inspiration. From there I built a career as a creative director, traveled North America in cars, RVs, and my camper van, served as full time caregiver for my best friend until ALS took his life, lived in a Brooklyn zen temple during covid, started a nonprofit supporting musicians in NYC, and began training in zen contemplative care. 

For me, the act of piecing together a life from the places and experiences along the nomad’s wandering path finds its truest creative expression in collage.
