"Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time." -Thomas Merton

Painting and photography have always been my passion, but in the last few years I've begun to explore many new hobbies and crafts. I guess I'd have to consider this both a blessing and a curse, for at any given time I can be working on a dozen projects, all in different mediums.

I'm especially fond of working with old or discarded items, whether it be an old game with missing pieces or a small collection of wine corks. Recycling and upcycling items not only gives me new and uncommon materials to work with, it also gives me a sense of fulfillment knowing that I may have done a small part in helping our environment and future.
