I’ve spent nearly a quarter-century living as an artist. I completed my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in illustration at The Ringling College of Art and Design in 1999, followed by a Master’s degree in painting at the Academy of Art University in 2003.

I’m an award-winning artist and have shown my work both nationally and internationally, including shows in Finland and Morocco. I’m currently represented by the Seattle Art Museum Gallery. In 2014, I participated in my first artist’s residency in Vienna, Austria, a one-month endeavor that culminated in a solo show there at Mo.ë. In the winter of 2019, I returned from a two-month residency at AARK in Korpo, Finland. Based on the work completed while there, I was recently awarded the “Solo Show Award” from the Royal Nebeker Art Gallery in Astoria, OR.
