From macaroni necklaces to site specific installations and everything in between - you name it, I've made it. I'm more than a little bit obsessed with art and words. A perfect day for me would involve xeroxing things out of my sketchbook, typing up snippets of text, and stapling together a whole bunch of zines.

When I am not making art, I love thrifting, going to flea markets, listening to music that isn't cool, reading, writing, and watching YouTube videos.

I hold a BFA in Printmaking from the University of Florida, and I've taught art classes on topics like screen printing, metals, drawing, painting, and bookbinding. Clients include Urban Outfitters, 6DollarShirts, Amelia's Magazine, and The Independent Florida Alligator.

My mantra for the last few years has been “don’t think, just make.” I always tell people who want to start making art that you have to get out of your head (which can often be full of fears and self doubts) and onto the page, thinking less of what the end result will look like and focusing more on enjoying the process and getting down and dirty with paint and ink!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
