Why have you chosen the Hudson Valley as your environment for creation?

My current creative practice began when I relocated to the region in 2020. Living up here grants me the time, space, and access to resources I never would have had if I had stayed in New York City.

What are you most curious about right now in your work, or just as a human?

Interested in the handmade. Sustainable materials and construction for longevity. Local manufacture. Craft education.
