I am a painter and art therapist born and raised in Ohio. After earning my BFA from Ohio University in 2014, I applied my creative skills in the workforce as a teaching artist. My work—including large public murals and projects in mental health agencies, schools, and natural resource conservation—led me to earn my MA in Counseling, specializing in Family Therapy and Art Therapy, from Antioch University Seattle in 2022. I currently live and work in Seattle WA.

Indulging in world building and fantasy, I paint archetypal figures and explore themes related to family of origin, inherited consciousness, and meditation. I project real and imagined narratives onto dreamy landscapes, aiming to create a form of collage-like storytelling by blending realism and abstraction. To deepen my process, I integrate sculptural forms inspired by symbolic imagery from my paintings.
