Bio
In 2014 after completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree at Southern Illinois University Carbondale located in the Shawnee National Forest, I took a leap for adventure and moved to the Sonoran Desert to pursue a Master of Fine Arts Degree at ASU. Since relocating to Tempe, Arizona, my artistic practice has shifted and developed beyond my imagination. Through the pursuit of academic success as well as a professional career as an artist, my studio practice has intensified and become much more serious. In the past couple years, my artwork has been exhibited and purchased both nationally and internationally. Currently I work alongside a collective of artists at LOT 14 Studios.
