I am very interested in psychology, folk art, religious ceremonies & rites, and different cultures, collecting masks will allow me to have an outlet for all these interests. I am currently a graduate student pursuing a PhD. in Industrial Organizational Psychology. I am also studying Neuro Linguistic Programming/Hypnosis, occultism & magick in my spare time. I am a big fan of Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell. I just began collecting masks, and I also collect rare books and statuary of a religious nature. I/4 of my body is covered in a traditional Japanese tattoo. Before returning to school I made my living in the entertainment industrial in Hollywood working as a scenic painter and sculptor. I am single and live with a feline named Loki. My favorite film genre is "noir", and my favorite musical artists are Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, and Patti Smith.
