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 the ones I imagined.

I studied sustainable industrial design, concluded that I could not serve both a mass production schedule and the planet, and moved back to Raleigh to start making art about the tension between humanity and nature. I had a child and found that I wanted to include children, family, and femininity in my work as well.

I live with my family in Raleigh 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.
