I am an artist and teacher living in the Chicagoland area.

I earned my BFA in Visual Communication from The University of Kansas and an MAT and MEd from National-Louis University.

As an artist, I work across different mediums, deeply invested in capturing the delicacy, strength, and fluidity of the human experience. Questions that drive my work: What environments and experiences bring us relief and joy? What holds us back? How do we break through and thrive?

I have exhibited in galleries, museums, and festivals throughout the United States, including Reece Museum (Tennessee), Swope Art Museum (Indiana), and the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry (Chicago). My art can be found in numerous private and public collections, including The University of Illinois Springfield.

I have been published across a variety of platforms, writing about art at the classroom and personal level. As a speaker, I have presented across the United States leading creative workshops and advocating for art in education. I currently teach at the middle school level and serve on the Teacher Advisory Council for the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago.
