La Perle (The Pearl) - Ernest Louis Lessieux - 1901

I am an artist, it’s all I know, it’s all I do. If other things are realized through my art such as community building, activism or teaching… that’s awesome. First and foremost, I have to create and there is no limit to the things I will use or where I will find materials to create with. Just to list some things I’m about: used found and recycled things, painting, drawing, collage, building installations, stick and poke tattoos, hair cutting, boat building, abandoned building and animal touching, jewelry making, clothing making, and etc, etc.
