Originally from Southern California, I moved to Michigan to do a printmaking residency at the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts, where I am now faculty for the drawing and painting department. I earned my BFA in Studio Arts from Northern Arizona University. It was there that I began my studies in sculpture, oil painting, and printmaking. Since that time, I have oscillated between these disciplines, allowing each season of making to inform the next. My current body of work revolves around block printing, my recent sculptures taking on movement, texture, and pattern through block printed collage. Art, for me, has always been a means of reinterpretation through personal imagination. I observe the world closely, but find my best work emerges from memory, where observations are transformed through drawing and personal association.
