The Artist Health Project

Artists have a bad rep for being self-destructive, and I certainly have a history of this myself (a history that continues to show its ugly head).  This project is about searching for proper nutrition, exercise, prayer and meditations, and responsible spending to show that artists can use holistic health to make them more creative and more prolific instead of relying on patterns of destruction and addiction to fuel their work. 

Another theme that threads through this is the idea of surveillance and privacy.  This kind of information: what someone eats or spends, is very private information, yet in this sea of social media, it is often flaunted.  I am willing to put my info out there 100% factually for all to see...even the ugly...

I eat a gluten-free soy-free vegan diet due to food allergies, intolerance, and personal choices.  So don’t be confused by the fact that I pretty much only eat vegetables.  I’m not just doing that for this project.  That’s actually what I eat.
