I'm joining the blog world.

I just spent the last two days fruitlessly trying to start my own website; I visited roughly eight different website-generators and all had some underlying feature that prevented success. I have deeper reasoning for this; I am enrolled in a class all about getting your self and your work out in to the world... so, I'm slowly trying to do that. 

Finally, I'm settling on a blog instead. I feel as though its not exactly the right fit, but at the very least its a forum to settle into.

I am an artist living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with my fiance, Andre and our crazy dog, Dallas. I primarily create prints, and these pages will serve more or less as my way of presenting them. I make my art in order to fulfill a deeper need within myself; it is an act of self-exploration and expression, as well as an act of enjoyment. I have spent the last few years exploring the urban landscape of the city of Philadelphia (and also, briefly of Rome, Italy, as I spent the last semester there). I am interested in the characteristics of the city, what makes it uniquely so, and why it is happening around me. I am currently working on finishing my studies at Tyler School of Art, in Elkins Park, and I'm teaching fine arts part-time and working in a small store in Chestnut Hill.

So, here we go!
