I live in Madison, WI, coming from from Indiana by way of Kentucky. I use this space to explore my interests and tinker at the edge of the Fediverse.

🎨 I like the arts and practice with middling commitment and success. 🎨 I’ve won many awards for my writing and media work. 🎨 I served on the public arts team that installed a 20-foot tall statue of a praying mantis in my hometown. 🎨 I appreciate art that creates awareness of environmental, civic and social issues and is tied to a unique sense of place. 🎨 I am very proud to have sold and exhibited a quilt at the Los Angeles art gallery, Gallery 1988 at a show curated by Wustitch in 2023.
