 Bio


In April of ‘82, I was born in Cluj, Romania, the capital of Transylvania, where I lived until I was 7 years old. I still speak the language, but I'm a little choppy. Fleeing the red fist of communism, my parents bravely set out as political refugees to Greece in '89, just before the revolution. My sister and I joined them a year later and lived in Athens, where our walks in the park were among the ancient ruins of the acropolis. Poor as dirt, but determined as hell, my parents pooled their savings and when our visa finally cleared for the United States in 1990, we began our new lives in the metropolitan wonder that is Twin Falls, Idaho. We didn't care to hang out there too long, so we moved up to Seattle and have lived here ever since.

I’m not 100% certain about what I want to do long term, but I know learning a bunch, seeing the world, and improving my artistic skill set are at the top of the list.

Thanks so much for visiting, come back soon, feel free to drop me a line!
