Likes to talk to artists about: Deeply curious about artistic process, finding support and analyzing habits and goals. I’m a fearless dream-tank session partner and pretty darn good at understanding purpose and potential of new projects/initiatives. Favorite pastime: Undoing seriousness while rebuilding the sacred.
