“The clouds above us join and separate,
The breeze in the courtyard leaves and returns.
Life is like that, so why not relax?
Who can stop us from celebrating?”

I am a professional performance painter, a multi-instrumentalist songwriter with a fetish for blurring melody and percussion, a scientific illustrator, a sound engineer, an integral theorist-practitioner, and an essayist. My mission is love and inspiration; my deepest mortal desire is to move others to the same awe I experience in the face of our world's tremendous majesty and mystery. Needless to say, I don't get much sleep.
You can find all of my music available for free download, as well as music videos and a still gallery of my live paintings, here.
