About 

I am an artist living and working in Ames, IA. I received a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Minnesota with a major in architecture and a minor in fine arts. After working several years for an architecture firm in New York City, I returned to the midwest and pursued further study in visual art. In 2016, I began a Master of Fine Arts program in Integrated Visual Arts with an emphasis on printmaking at Iowa State University. My work explores the boundaries between art and architecture, specifically the capacity of art to be a critical response to issues of space, time, and the social function of design.
