Chicago, IL

"bringing the beauty of nature inside"
I’m a Chicago-based multidisciplinary artist who incorporates elements from the environment into works testing the bounds of beauty. I gather weeds and flora to create a variety of works from paintings, ceramics, works on paper, and most recently, wallpaper.

I received my MFA in Painting and Drawing from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (2016), MA in Studio Arts from Eastern Illinois University (2012), and BFA from the University of Kansas (1999). I’ve been invited as an artist in residence to the European Ceramic Work Centre (the Netherlands), SEA Foundation (the Netherlands), Vermont Studio Center (Johnson City), and Ragdale Foundation (Lake Forest). My most recent solo show, Beneath the Green, closed at Goldfinch (Chicago) this February. Previous select solo and two-person exhibitions include Paris London Hong Kong (Chicago), The SEA Foundation (NL), and Tarble Arts Center (Charleston). Select group exhibitions include Elmhurst Art Museum (Elmhurst), Hyde Park Art Center (Chicago), DOCUMENT (Chicago), ADDS DONNA (Chicago), Northern Illinois University Art Museum (Dekalb), Morlan Gallery (Lexington), and The Franklin (Chicago). I’ve been awarded an NEA funded Artist Grant, a 3Arts Make a Wave Grant, a Netherland-America Foundation Cultural Grant, among others. My work has been featured in New American Paintings, Printmaking Today, LUXE Interiors, and Sheridan Road. I’m currently a Lecturer at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in the Painting and Drawing Department.
