About Me

I am a Seattle-based installation, performance, and social practice artist drawn to works that disrupt complacency and rekindle wonder.

My artistic training spans theater, film, and large-scale painting, which I draw from to generate moments of recognition and connection through environment, performance, and play. I make art that draws (sometimes tricks) viewers into deep participation and co-creation.

You can explore a few examples of my projects on this site, and reach out to me at datingbysixpack@gmail.com with ideas and questions.

Below is an incomplete list of my artistic contributions. Staged in/around Seattle unless otherwise noted.
