Supplied West has always been a concept rooted in art. It came to me while driving around the western United States, visiting grad schools in 2011, at a time I felt I could benefit from a space to share my writing and photography. It took its own course from there, flowing into a lo-fi outlet for my leather work. I drew a pine tree logo and put my products out into the world. It still is that, but it’s also evolving. My desire to design and build leather & metal goods has joined new energy for my love of drawing and painting. I’m sure my music will resurface in the near future as well. It’s all connected in its own beautiful way.
Thanks for your interest.
