The Common Fire Foundation is a not-for-profit that works towards social change and environmental sustainability. I lived in their model housing co-operative in Tivoli, NY for two years while earning my Masters of Music at Bard College - surrounded by 37 acres of preserved Hudson Valley land, with an incredibly supportive group of individuals. I could not have imagined a better environment to foster my creative ideas, and aid me in understanding the responsibility I have as an artist to our world.
