I spent the first sixteen years of my life in New York, about 10 miles north of the city. Our family moved to Kansas City for a year-and-a-half, and then to Auburn, where I finished High School. My experiences of moving allowed me the opportunity of seeing a diverse number of people in various settings and social situations.


During my time in Kansas City I attended my first intensive study at the Kansas City Art Institute. In 2000 I began work at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, which I graduated from in 2004.
After school I moved to Austin. I am part-business owner and operator of decorative painting company Bluebird Design. Recently I began a series incorporating gold leaf, a product we often use in our decorative painting.


I’ve had numerous group shows and look forward to having my first notable solo show at Pump Project in Austin, TX this summer.
