On Friday October 30th, 2015  I presented a solo performance and a collaborative performance with Japanese artist Koki Sugita. This planned and exciting event took place at the Dunedin Fine Art Center, Dunedin, FL.  Koki and myself met  and performed for the first time captivating the audience with our intuitive marks and body movements. Even though we had never spoken with each other we translated visually our  universal passion for performance and mark making. The following day, October 31, I presented a one day brushmaking workshop to a group of eager learners!
