Born in Washington D.C., currently residing in New Orleans, LA.
I am a graduate of Guilford College where I majored in Art (Printmaking) and minored in Music. My art lives in the in-between space of two mediums: printmaking and songwriting. I carve and print multi-block woodcuts and I enjoy creating large scale colorful installations. From July 2021-July 2022 I participated in the Incubator Residency Program at McGuffey Art Center in Charlottesville, Virginia, where I shared a studio space with 5 other artists. My last studio was within Visible Records, and Kendall King and I opened up our printmaking space as New Suns Print Studio. We hosted workshops and open studio hours. Now I am a member at the New Orleans Community Printshop where I help host weekly open studio nights as well as a monthly art critique group.
