Saluton!
Born and raised in Miami, Florida, I currently live in Brooklyn, NY. Drawing, printmaking, painting, textile works, video and photography are some of the mediums that I work in and I'm always in the process of learning something new. Currently, I've been immersed in getting PEGACORN PRESS (which is a small publishing house based out of my home), up and running. This feminist, queer, and "total-art-freaker" press specializes in producing small-run art books, zines and comics. So far, three official publications have been released during the Fall of 2011- a new 2012 Paquita Calendar, FUTURE TENSE (which is a comic compilation featuring eleven different artists from the U.S. and Germany), and Mike Taylor's LATE ERA CLASH. There are several new projects in the works- a couple of them are collaborations with other artists and writers. As all the details are figured out, they will be posted on both my personal blog and the one set up for the press.
If you find yourself interested in purchasing art, please look at the "For Sale/ETSY" section (or click HERE to be directed to my shop). I truly believe in making my work accessible and tend to sell items on a sliding scale basis. That being said, if you see something that you'd like to purchase- but are short on funds- more than likely, we can work out a fair trade. I'm always looking for wildcrafted medicinal plants, seaweeds, koji, taxidermy, bee keeping equipment, and books about all of the above- and more. If you have any of those said items to spare, let's trade!
Take care-

P.S. I keep bees and am always interested in meeting other beekeepers, particularly if you've made your own equipment....
