| Introduction | From a Tipi to Times Square: I am a transplant to New York City from the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. I grew up in the mountains and deserts of the southwest, where my hippie parents taught wilderness survival. I, of course, went to art school to earn two art degrees which have lead me on a penniless journey producing work in my tiny apartment in uptown Manhattan. I'm trying to embrace the city and find my own place somewhere within it while writing about my experiences along the way. |
