I graduated from Iowa State University with a BFA in 2023. Currently, I am an artist at Mainframe Studios. My work ranges from various sized paintings to sculptures made from wood/clay.

I have utilized art to make sense of my world ever since I can remember. My deepest motivations come from my dreams/daydreams where I can immerse myself into a place with endless possibilities steeped in raw, unfiltered emotion, so I create visual metaphors to communicate these ineffable feelings. I have always been drawn to using the human anatomy as a vehicle for communication in my work because I see the body as an inexhaustible form of inspiration. There is so much to be said in the way we conduct ourselves, and there is much to explore in our way of thinking. My intention is to uncover the metaphysical strangeness of the collective human experience.

I am available for commissions.

Use this section to get the parent/child taxonomies for a single post being viewed

The above pulls in each of the parents within the artist-discipline taxonomy , which is good, if I want to display them alone without their children.
Terms: Illustration/Drawing
Terms: Media
Terms: Mixed Media
Terms: Multi-Disciplinary
Terms: Painting
Terms: Sculpture
Terms: Visual

I need to probably display these like this:

Dance: Ballroom, General, Hip Hop, Jazz.

Design: General, Graphic

Will need to figure out how to return the sub categories (artist-discipline) for each parent individually and then loop through all parents assigned to the CPT (artist) being viewed.

In this section I was able to successfully pull all sub categories that belongs to the 2 parents selected. This could be good if I was trying to show all possible choices under that parent, but what I really need is to pull just the selected ones back.
