I’m currently working at Dream of Wild Health. I’m pursuing me and my father’s dream of becoming a farmer. Farming is part of a multi-generational dream of returning to the old ways.

Community means coming together when you need it most and not asking why. This art piece is inspired by a rough day I had at work. My friends and I sat under the corn. It was peaceful and calming to sit with the corn and my friends.
