Other Work

---

Beyond my work in counseling, I am an artist and a farmer. 

As an eco artist, I paint simple designs onto eco cremation urns and caskets using natural pigments. I have been involved in this work for a decade and consider it to be a form of service. I also create other kinds of functional folk art. 

In my free time I volunteer caring for a local flock of sheep, and grow an herb garden at home. I decrease my counseling work in the summers when I am involved in more extensive work trade efforts to learn practical skills related to sustainable food, animal care, mutual aid, and ecological land, water, and waste management. 

While I do not overlap these activities with my counseling work, I share them here to provide context for who I am in the world, where you might run into me, and interests we may have in common.
