About

i have been described as the love child of bob ross and bob marley. i was born to a broadway and film actor/musician father and poet/writer mother in buffalo, new york. i formed as an artist growing up in the atomic soil of alamogordo, new mexico when my parents decided to trade the hippie life for fundamentalist christian missionary life. though central to my heart and soul, art was largely sidelined until I decided to dedicate time to it daily around two years ago — and I established ::savor:: arts. in my poetry I use the double colon before and after a word to indicate the ::experience:: of something. i call my art studio/practice ::savor:: because in my art i am always trying to communicate my experiences of savoring things that touch, bewilder, and fascinate me. i am endlessly in pursuit of knowledge and practice in multiple forms of artistic expression. in this way i ::savor:: everything!
