My philosophy:
Play is Work.
Play is what refines our personalities. It helps us to create social bonds: It teaches us to work with other people. Play lets us work out issues that are scary or intense. Play allows us to explore conflict management; it teaches us that people might have different opinions. We learn to share our things and our emotions through play. Children who are allowed to play unfettered by adult constraints develop their muscles and bodies, their self-advocacy skills, and their imaginations. When was the last time you let your imagination run free and unrestrained? Grownups just need a little more help. I can help.
Let's Play More.
As a artist, I am influenced by: dreams, memories, old photographs, poems, animals, tricks of light and time, nature and the lack there of. What moves you?
Let's find out.
