I was born in Florida, grew up in Los Angeles, and currently live and work in Washington. I make drawing-sculptures of passed everyday objects. I received my MFA in Painting and Drawing from University of Texas San Antonio in 2020. I graduated Baylor University in 2014 with a BFA in Painting, and worked for Karl Umlauf from 2013-2017. While in Los Angeles I studied at artist So Moon Kim's Hagwon from 2004 to 2005. |
