I have worked for over 10 years professionally with several non-profits as an events manager, fundraiser, volunteer coordinator, art class instructor, and personal development coach. I studied studio art from 2009-2013 at the University of Northern IA and the University of Newcastle, Australia and I currently specialize in 2D art with an emphasis in stenciling, spray paint, and t-shirt design, but have also worked in 3D media such as ceramics and metal sculpture.

As a resident of Norwalk, IA, I was elected to the board of the North River Arts Council representing my community and was soon after elected to position of treasurer, overseeing the organization's budget, and playing a large role in the Master Arts Plan for Warren County, IA. I recently concluded work alongside other NRAC council members on a mural for the City of Carlisle which had its ribbon cutting event in the summer of 2023. My work has also been displayed and sold at the Valley Junction Arts Festival, the Waukee Arts Festival, Art on the Lake in Pleasant Hill, IA, Art in the Garden at Ted Lare Garden Center, and the Indianola Summer Arts Festival, and the Iowa State Fair Fine Arts Exhibit.

My primary materials used, spray paint and stencils, are often seen as the medium of street artists, yet none of us can directly share or take home a mural or graffiti tag. Therefore, I strive to display this urban medium on an intimate level and expand the degree of expression that is associated with spray paint. Many of my pieces are designed to be standalone works while others are meant to be displayed as a series, such as in the form of tryptic.

In 2023 I began work on the Murmurations series which is inspired by the reality of human trafficking and the abuse and trauma endured by those afflicted. One of the main works, Midday Muster, was included in the Polk County Heritage Gallery’s Des Moines Exhibited Show and where it was recognized with a Merit Award.
