Merry Mangrove

making stuff up..

I’ve always found it terribly difficult to fit myself into a creative category. Perhaps from a fear of missing out, or not wanting to be tied down to one thing. I’ve been making imagery, objects, spaces, songs and more for a lifetime as some form of living and -at times- a ‘means to an end’. Perhaps ironically as a designer, educator, author, songwriter; I’ve been given bountiful challenges to serve that proverbial mother of invention and have discovered there is no end, just continuous revelation and countless beauty on the journey.
