I started making art a few years ago based on my time in Peru and Costa Rica. I decided that burning wood and carving it is the way to go for me. I spent time with nativen people in Peru and Costa Rica, and across the USA learning from them and occasionally working and volunteering for them. I got a lot of inspiration from this. During this time I was exposed to new forms of culture, music, and community, as well as spiritual practices that are very ancient. I spent time in nature and meditating. I also got a stronger sense of the history of the USA and the results that it has brought the indigenous people.
So, some of the inspiration comes from Mexico, Costa Rica, Peru, Columbia, and the eastern USA.
I started making art about 5 years ago in New Mexico as a way to cope with being totally alone and lost.
