Artist Statement:
Everything is connected,
memories make who we
are...These realizations
provide the foundations for
much of my creations. My
latest works find connections
amidst seemingly unrelated
pieces, to which I strive to
reveal an ecological awareness
or just a map to my own
meditations and theories.
Themes of environmental
strife, animal and ecological
welfare and time and space
passings are vastly
fascinating to me right now.

I have been drawing pictures since I was a wee little one and I just kept it with me and decided to embark on it in adulthood as well. |

| Your Personal Biography |
I was born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri. In 2003, after completing my Associate's degree, I left the tepid sprawls of the Midwest for the mountains of northern Arizona. I completed my undergraduate degree from Prescott College in 2007 with distinction and presented at the college's Baccalaureate Ceremony. During my undergraduate career, I broke through many personal perceived limitations, and truly began to identify my direction, expression and focus. I backpacked through the desert, watched whales and swam with sea lions in Mexico and solifified my identification with the painting medium. I have since moved back to Kansas City, for I felt a purpose to be back home and prepare for the next leap in life. I am currently working to build up my portfolio, finish my teacher certification, possibly teach English in China and then go to graduate school to acquire my MFA. |
