Born and raised in Overland Park, Kansas, I studied painting at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, (SAIC), earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in May 2017. Continuing my arts education, I received my Master of Arts in Art at Eastern Illinois University in May 2019, earning the Distinguished Graduate Award and the King-Mertz Award of Excellence. I currently split my time working between my in-home studio (with my dogs) in Overland Park and the family farm in Central Missouri.
