Most folks who are familiar with my creative practice, aren’t aware of the many side jobs and gigs I’ve had over the years. Educator (Teaching farsi, from the age of nine till until I began my MA/PhD studies at UCLA.), Carpenter (at Don Francis Frame Shop in Venice CA, 2010-2015), Designer and Seamstress for most of my life for anyone who asks and is referred to me…. As well as many odd jobs in addition to my pursuit of everything within the creative multiverse.

My contribution to “If I Were A Carpenter” was “When I was A Carpenter.” In which I publicly outed footage from over five years of my frame making practice of sanding, cutting lumber, staining, finishing and working with beautiful pieces of wood which were transformed into archival frames for museums, galleries and private collections.
