When I grow up, I want to continue to form a deep and meaningful connection and community through art/creation of all forms. I truly believe in the power of collaborative creation and purpose. My closest friendships exist in many ways on the foundation of a mutual understanding of the beauty and the sorrow of our daily world as well as a mutual need to express the two and the in-between in whatever medium possible. Whether that be writing, film/photography, painting, collaging, music, or, in many cases, a chaotic mix of many, I always thrived by having some form of expression in my daily life.
“I truly believe in the power of collaborative creation and purpose.”
When I grow up, I want to continue to create and create and create. I want to travel the world and my internal self, so I have even more curiosity and wonder to stem from when creating. I want to hear and tell stories from/to as many different people as possible. I want to make an impact with my work and my spirit. I want to use art to inspire and change the world and myself. And at some point, very late in the future, I want to live in a cottage somewhere in the woods, spending my days drinking tea, writing, and painting fantastical landscapes.
