Visual Art – St. Louis

I was born in St. Louis, Missouri, where I presently live and work. I attended East Central College and received my Associate of Arts degree in 2007. I then attended Webster University and received my BFA with an emphasis in painting in 2011. My mediums range from painting, drawing, papermaking, bookbinding, and fire poi performance. I am presently focusing on designing and fabricating functional books for both every day and special occasions. I feel the world of technology would eat the soul of the ancient practice of writing on paper. I also have been doing painting \"sketches\" in oil. I have been fortunate to meet several inspiring people over the years who travel the country. I have done my paintings on unstretched canvas, making them highly portable. It is part of an ongoing series of nomadic art.
