Do you know what it's like to feel different?
I do, and I bet you do too.
I am an artist who started a business in 2002 and traveled in an old van for fifteen years vending the products I created at music festivals and concerts all over the country. Independence and the freedom to build my business in my own way and on my own schedule wasn't just what mattered most to me - it was the only way I knew how to be.
After taking a couple years off the road, I gained the perspective to put my stories in writing and realized in the process how much the feeling of being different is a part of everyone's unique experience. Now with a balance between home and travel, my business continues to grow as I add creative outlets.
Here's where you can read things I write, get news about my book in progress, find links to my company sites, and purchase products featuring my art.
