some things I am up to lately.... loving spring days stocking pottery for upcoming markets, website updates, finishing up my little shared studio, procrastinating digging holes for courtyard fencing and dreaming of stone walls. OH and I have some days available this summer if your getting married and in need of a photographer. Doing lots of things and they all inspire each other.
Introducing Touchy Feely.
An intimate creative meetup at my place, Casa Wilder, in Ojai.
Different weekends will be directed to different folks.
Some weekends will be for local creatives to hang, chat, make things with clay.
Some other weekends will be for creative directors, art directors, brand managers, art buyers, or producers to come meet me, photographer + director.
It’s an easy late morning hang—pixie oranges, Dutchess treats, Magic Hour tea, Bonito coffee, and gentle chitchat. No agenda, no panels, no pressure. Just being in the same space and seeing what comes out of it.
Bring a suit if you want to float the river .
Stay a bit, then go explore Ojai.
Lately it’s felt harder to actually connect. Remote work, full inboxes, layers between people—it adds up. This is just a way to meet face to face again. Just a hello and a conversation.
If you’re up for that, reach out. Send a dm me, who you are, what you’re into, what you’re working on. Send along your email address & I will add you to the email with upcoming dates.
Let’s start something simple. Something real.

I am now on my 5th skin cancer MOHS surgery with zero talk of prevention.
NO discussion at all from 3 different dermatologists, not even a mention of sunscreen or sun avoidance. I realize the whole conversation around prevention is broken, feels like its all about money and not preventative healthcare.
I am ready to ready to go deeper and explore how to be active not passive.
I am looking into Cancer Center for Healing in Irvine for integrative medecine: I am looking into:
3D body scan
blood analysis
diet and lifestyle modification
metabolic health
mitichondrial function
BEAM testing
RGCC Oncotrace

Patria Chica, portraits of the people of my small town. I live in the tiny citrus ranching town called Ojai, nestled at the foothills of the Topa Topa Mountains. I moved here and fell in love with the people and the landscape. Today more than ever community is so important. Patria Chica is a celebration of the magical folks of this small town with.
