Creative Resources:
I love seeing films at old theaters, the Vista, The Theater at Ace, The Nuart and The Egyptian all have great programs. Watching films in those spaces make it feel like going to church. I am an avid surfer so being in and around the ocean are really important to me. Nature in general is important and inspiring as it's truly an unlimited source of beauty. I seek out Photography books and exhibitions. The Annenberg always has something interesting going on as well as LACMA and MOCA. I lived in New York for many years and got accustomed to living around museums. In LA it feels like there's less of that, but in reality they're all around and full of wonderful work. In LA though, it's as if creativity is all around in the most surprising spaces. For example, there are so many murals and hand painted signs here and funny little donut shop marquees. I don't know why but I find those donut shops particularly endearing, as if every single one has a rich interior life and backstory.
