Originally from Kansas City, I grew up in a loud, passionate family where self-expression was second nature. I’ve always been fiery, tender, and deeply curious about what makes people who they are. That curiosity led me into healthcare, where I worked first as a research assistant in Epigenetics, and eventually as a nurse in Neuro Trauma ICU, Hospice, and Wound Care. Those experiences taught me how emotions live in the body- and how, when given space, they can shift and heal us.

Now, as an artist, I approach my work as a modality for well-being: a way to process, reflect, and connect. I create from my home studio in Oklahoma, where I live with my husband and our magical (and cheeky) daughter, Layla. I love estate sales, dessert at any hour, and anything in miniature.

Empathy and equity are core values that impact everything I do. Knowing that art and culture can’t be fully appreciated when basic human needs are not met, in April of 2019 I began donating a portion of my profits to charity. I currently donate 3% to a new cause each quarter. Know of one that should be on my radar? Reach out here.

My work has been commissioned by corporate and private collectors across the world and has been featured in both print and digital media. In 2024, while participating in the 108 Contemporary Biennial, I was honored with the Hardesty Foundation Innovation Award. Read about my piece and the award in this blog post.
