Interview

  • If you have to pick one thing that everyone else should absolutely know about you, what would it be?
    I've had a pretty interesting life and had a lot of varied life experiences. the awards I was up for my senior year of high school sort of sum me up as a person - I was nominated for Most Likely to Succeed, Biggest Airhead, Class Clown, and Most School Spirit. Of course, I didn't win any. I almost went to university on a bassoon scholarship; instead I went as chemical engineering major before switching over to art. I worked in fashion for many years in New York. I have that jack of all trades thing going on.
  • What are your hobbies? What do you like to do in your spare time?
    I've been watching more old movies lately and have recently become a little obsessed with Douglas Sirk movies. I also am terrible at watching TV, but when I find a show I like, I'll binge watch it from beginning to end. I enjoy a good dance party. I have started making/designing t-shirts, which has been a really great creative outlet.
  • How do you go that ‘extra mile' in your life?
    I don't believe in karma or the golden rule.

    I am a very kind and honest person and I am very selfless and treat others very well. I am loyal to a fault.

    I don't expect any of this in return, I do so because I believe it's the right thing to do.
  • What do you do for fun?
    I do what I think is fun every day! In addition to my regular biking, climbing, yoga, and healthy food eating, I love exploring new parks/restaurants/cultural institutions/hot springs, collaborating on making beautiful images, and shopping. There. I said it. Shopping.
  • Tell us what you consider to be your greatest life experience.
    My last serious relationship. We had a deep, deep connection and love for each other, and even though things didn't work out for us on the romantic level, to have that sort of connection with someone, for however brief a time, is a blessing.
  • What makes you stand out from the crowd?
    My inner strength, ability to land on my feet, my militantly aesthetic ways.
  • How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or you are more of a homebody?
    I do not travel nearly as much as I would like! My goal for the next year is to travel much, MUCH more.
  • What kind of diet and fitness regiment do you follow?
    I focus on eating a healthy diet, getting plenty of regular exercise, and maintaining functional strength. I haven't lifted weights seriously since 2013 and I've never felt better, and in my opinion, my body has never looked better. I eat healthy, cook the majority of my meals, and get the bulk of my produce from farmer's markets (that's me with the bunches of greens hanging out of the box on my rear bike rack). I bike on average 12-20 miles a day. I do yoga daily, and I go bouldering at climbing gyms a couple times a week.
  • What’s your lifestyle? What makes you who you are?
    I love being around the energy of world cultural centers. NYC is a city of the world, and LA is possibly the most vibrant and exciting city in the US right now. I don't necessarily make visual art, but I have lived my life as an artist and like to participate and collaborate with my artist friends. I live as a minimalist and throw things away in my spare time. I do my best to cook the majority of my meals. I live a healthy lifestyle - some may say boring, but I've done enough crazy things in my life I don't feel bad being a little more square now!
  • What would you like your followers to know about you that is unique and even a bit personal?
    I'm left-handed, for starters, and to get a little more personal, I moved back to my hometown of Bakersfield CA for a year to help take care of my mom.
  • What should others absolutely know about you?
    I'm not as scary as I look!
  • What do you enjoy most about yourself?
    no matter the obstacles I've faced, I've never lost my smile
  • If you and I were on the beach having some wine and great food, what would you tell me about yourself.
    let's sit on the beach and drink some wine and eat some great food! sounds fun!
  • Name 5 things that you can’t live without.
    delicious food, the climbing gym, art, my bicycle, and humor
