“Study the science of art. Study the art of science. Develop your senses — especially learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else.”

-Leonardo da Vinci
I operate a website called 3pistolary.com, a personal project of mine that encourages people to write letters to others—three letters, to be exact. And then, if they wish, participants can choose to anonymously share up to one page of the letter with the site. It is a project I care deeply about and that I hope succeeds in connecting individuals to one another and to the dying art of written correspondence.
I recently launched an outdoor reading/open mic series in Seattle called Prose in the Park. In April of 2025, I will launch Poetry in the Park. More information about those events can be found here.
I write pet memorials and obituaries for people who have lost their beloved animals. My initiative/business is called Words of Remembrance. Website will be live sometime this summer 2025!
The aforementioned pastimes are those I'm most actively engaged in right now, but my interests are varied and wide. I am almost always enrolled in a course (or multiple) for personal enrichment and to momentarily stave off an unquenchable love of learning. I believe in learning for learning's sake, and for fun have studied things like philosophy, physics, and fencing; metalsmithing and violin, dance and dead languages and this theory and that theory and the sublimity of Fibonacci. I could go on, but I'll just say that I find scholastic pursuits to be not only edifying but recreational, and that the more I learn, the more I see how things are connected. There is geometry in music, chemistry in cooking, engineering in sculpture.
For the past few years (albeit off and on) I have been doing calligraphy. My favorite styles are Copperplate, Batarde, Italic, and Spencerian. Once I am more confident sharing my work in this art form, I will post samples.

I am also a fan of photography and consider myself a hobbyist, though it has been a while since I ventured out with my camera.
