Theatre and Dance are the ultimate inspiration for all my work. I also enjoy studio arts, reading and gardening. I cycle to work and everywhere else in New Orleans and if I have the opportunity will combine my love of art and cycling by taking another trip to Italy to cycle and enjoy the landscape and the incredible art and architecture.

Life Experience
-
- Transition
I moved to New Orleans in 1993 and began working in the film industry and for the New Orleans Opera. I decided to go to Tulane for a Masters and after completing my coursework, returned to a professional career before completion of my masters thesis. In 2004, after several years of freelance career I decided to focus on finishing the thesis and graduating. I graduated in the Spring of 2005 and was planning to devote more time to my artistic endeavers when Katrina hit and I landed in New York working as the Company Manager/Stage Manager for a dance company. I returned to New Orleans in 2006 and decided to become a Landscape Architect in order to sharpen and use my talents to rebuild the city. I just moved back from LSU in Baton Rouge and am anxious to get started.
