Hello!
I am an interdisciplinary artist that was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. I’ve loved art from a young age and have picked up skills in many different mediums over the years. Originally planning to study animation, I enrolled in the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning in 2020. It was there that I discovered a passion for sculpture and gallery spaces that pulled me and my artwork in a different direction. I have shown work in galleries such as Camp Washington’s CampSITE and I am set to graduate from UC with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in spring 2025.
I work in a variety of mediums including fiber, video, and photography. I used these mediums to bring casts of strange creatures and characters to life. I take inspiration from nature, folklore, and the otherwise fantastical. I combine these inspirations with my personal experiences to create characters that embody concepts like identity and connections to both people and places.
