About the Artist...

I am an American artist currently living and studying in Perth, Australia. I have started my post-graduate studies at Curtin University and have been heavily invested in printmaking as well as curatorial duties for student shows. In May 2024, I co-curated a print and sculpture show at PS Artspace in Fremantle, WA, where several undergraduate artists sold their first works to private buyers.

I received my B.F.A. in Drawing at Salisbury University in 2007 with my senior focus on Abstract Portraiture. After graduating, I moved to Germany collaborated with different artists, designers, and organizations. From 2012 -2014 I studied under the award-winning product designer Markus Bischof in Nuremberg. My time with Mr. Bischof was spent creating conceptual product designs , design through problem solving, as well as strengthening my focus on structure and its relationship to color.

In 2017 I became a certified Social Media manager which sparked renewed interest in digital design and communication. I spent the Fall 2021 semester taking some refresher courses in Graphic Design.

The last few years I have also had the pleasure of being commissioned to complete a few pieces for local businesses and art enthusiasts under specific requests/parameters, which can be viewed under the commissioned and sold work icon.
