I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in studio art, with a focus in painting and minors in Art History and Dance from the University of Kentucky in 2014. After a year of professional photography at Walt Disney World in Florida, I moved to the pacific northwest and completed my Masters of Fine Arts degree at Washington State University in 2017. I enjoy a variety of art practices and mediums, many of which speak to my quiet nature and love of travel and organic movement.
