Bio

I grew up in an earth-sheltered home, reading books and running around in the woods. My family didn't have a tv, so I drew the creatures I saw in nature and ones I imagined up.

Later I moved to Ohio where I graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in industrial design. Before becoming an artist, I worked as a toy designer and a welder.

I live with my family in Raleigh, with a stable of weird bikes, and make art in a garage-turned-studio.

Artist Statement

I work in acrylic paint and gravitate to themes of the environment, motherhood, aging, humor, and finding joy in the dark.
