I believe the power of good will always overcome the bad and strive to continually have a glass half full. Notice I said strive, because it’s not always easy.
I live in North Portland, Oregon in a hundred year old house with the love of my life–my partner AdRi and a pair of artists named Diego and Frida.
I am an overachiever. There I said it. I admit it. Here at Lelo Homemade I journal my thoughts on creativity, home arts and life, but professionally, I’m an award winning creative consultant. I also write the lifestyle column Cultivating Life in Oregon's LGBTQ newspaper, PQ Monthly.
I create every day. Sometimes I document it here, sometimes it shows up in my personal writing or artwork, and a lot of times it manifests in the work I do for clients. This creative engine is what drives me, inspires me, and I am inspired by…
- nature
- the Northwest
- muralists
- stone stackers
- musicians
- do-gooders
- rabble rousers
- those who speak up
- coloring outside the lines
- cage rattlers
- people who say please and thank you
- givers
- true love
- bodies of water
- finding something to be grateful for every day
- you.
