Introduction I can say that I truly think way outside the box, not only creatively but in every other way. I love books more than technology, I like people more than Facebook, I think most people can't see the bubble they are living in and they never truly see the light of day. Art is the fuel in my engine and its how I express the insights I have gained about life. My art is quickly becoming very political as my views mature. I love to laugh and make other people laugh through my art as well as by saying really dumb things and acting like a fool. Don't get me wrong....I still like a good challenging conversation.
Interests I love anything to do with art. I like talking about it, looking at it and creating it. I have had solo art shows and group shows when I was a member of Flatland Artist Sutdios in Regina. I've also painted a pig for "Pigs In the City" which is still on their website. I like to build, fix and create things. I like good food, good conversation, cool movies, going to live bands (getting into the mosh pit and getting sweaty) and being outdoors during the warm months. I absolutely love cooking for and entertaining friends. I really like things or people that are different than what they initially appear to be. Im fascinated by the secret lives that everyone tries so hard to keep hidden from the world. I dislike gossip and mean people.
