I am an artist, farmer, and permaculture designer. As an artist in awe of the natural world I learned how to see the world around me in a number of ways. this brought me back to my childhood love of farming and animals. I discovered the spirituality of agriculture through biodynamics. Biodynamics brought me right back to permaculture.Permaculture has brought me full circle to being in awe of nature but now able to understand a tiny bit more about it.

I love that my variety of interests come together in permaculture. It started with a copy of Gaia's Garden I found in a Goodwill shop. From there I was brought to many places that I had always known.

I now have a micro-farm based on biodynamimc and permaculture principles. We have small livestock and try to produce as much as we can. I now practice what I call Practical Permaculture - getting dirty and making mistakes.
