I am from a suburb of Minneapolis, Golden Valley. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree for art at the University of Minnesota. My strengths are in drawing and painting.

I love it when I make marks that seem organic. I believe mistakes take me to a place I would have never gone and figuring out how to build off them is where I can be most creative. Art for me is a process of mistakes, experimentation, feelings, thoughts, and how it is dealt with in each work.

Not only beautiful and skillful but more so controversial and shocking is a response I love to receive for my art because it excites me to know my art can stir-up debate and conversation. The human figure, especially of women is a favorite subject matter to follow and entertain me.

I'm huge on making something that is aesthetically pleasing which also plays around with realism and trying to show the process by revealing the purity of the medium. I like to incorporate pop culture or iconic figures as a way to relate and connect to viewers.

Overall, I am a quiet person who speaks loud through art. It is the things I do and make that my presence is known. I hope my art will leave a long, lasting impression in people’s mind. My interest in art expands into a variety of possible expressions that fit anyone's liking and needs. I am open for work and designing/creating for anyone interested in taking advantage of my artistic skill and ability.
