I am an artist, musician and writer. To put it in one word, I am a storyteller. I love a good story, and I endeavor to tell the good, true, beautiful stories of the world through my songs, drawings, written essays and poems.

Music

I am a singer-songwriter, guitarist, and fiddler-in-training, with roots firmly planted in the traditional music of England, Scotland, Ireland, and Appalachia. In my original compositions, I enjoy combining those sounds with influences drawn from 60s-70s British music and creating a “Celtic fusion” sound.

I was born in England and lived in many places in the US, and my lyrics reflect imagery drawn from my various homeplaces and travels. I like to focus on themes of travel, pilgrimage, and where we’re really going in life, which I consider to be a journey with a beautiful and eternal goal.

I have played in venues in Texas, Washington, California, Virginia, and North Carolina, and released my debut album in 2015. I am currently based in North Carolina and play regularly at jams, festivals, and venues in the area. See my shows page for upcoming events!

I am also available for small parties, events, and wedding receptions. Please contact me at peregrinenorth@gmail.com to learn more.

Art

My artwork, spanning 15 years and counting, focuses on Native American subjects and is the expression of a lifetime of interest in North America’s Native people. The Diné (Navajo), Jicarilla Apache, Lakota, Skokomish, Taos and Oneida (first in a series on the Haudenosaunee, or Iroquois, tribes) have all been featured among my subjects, and in the near future I hope to portray the Cherokee and complete my Iroquois series. My pieces have been displayed at exhibits and festivals in New York, Texas and Virginia.

Please see my art page to see my pieces. I will soon have an Etsy shop up and running with prints for purchase, so stay tuned!

Writing

I have worked as a professional writer for several years, including roles with the North American Province of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter and GoodCatholic.com. Please see my writing page for links to my best-of articles (published at other outlets) and creative work (published here).
