My work is a collection of self-portraits that surmise past moments, feelings and memories from my childhood. These are derived from having grown up in a stifling, emotionally abusive, and neglectful environment. Between parental bipolarity, and an isolated childhood, I was left with a turbulent sense of self to my feminine identity and self-worth. The work expresses various dualities and contradictory experiences in my life. I seek to encapsulate these personal struggles in order to discover who I am, and who I have been, and who I can become.

​Currently a RISD Fellow for Graduate school, I spend my time between RI and home in Iowa. I have worked as the Ceramics Lab Technician at the Ankeny Art Center, and have taught at the Des Moines Art Center, and the Octagon Arts Center in Ames. I actively exhibit throughout the country and currently have work in the Octagon Gallery for sale, or through  my website.
