Coast to coast:

Grew up in Denver, Colorado, and moved to Maine to attend Bates College.
Double-majored in Art and Visual Culture and American Cultural Studies
- Concentrations in 2D and 3D Art, and Environmental History.
- At the heart of these majors, was my life-long interest in how art connects people and affects our culture.
Graphic design and fashion became a profound interest for me and that brought me to Philadelphia to work with Anthropologie on the Digital Production team.
Then, it brought me to my role as a graphic designer for LOFT in New York City.
Coast to coast, I loved growing up in Colorado, and then exploring Maine, New York, and many places in between!
Through graphic design, I love storytelling and using creative problem-solving to make engaging visual assets.

Art Influences and Passion:

As an artist, my body of work often uses graphic illustration painting, drawing, and fabric to explore time, memory, and people within the environment and culture. I am interested in depicting places, characters, relationships, and emotions between people within this context.

I use digital drawing, pen, ink, and paper to create most of my work. I am influenced by Chris Ware, Marjane Satrapi, Norman Rockwell, Edward Hopper, Jennifer and Matthew Holm, and N.C Wyeth. These artists create work requiring visual literacy and encourage viewers to assess imagery for narrative elements, and in my work, I hope to evoke creative space and exploration similarly.

Like the artists' works that influence me, I want viewers to immerse themselves in the world I have created. In my work, I am interested in people and how they interact with each other. I will continue exploring this theme in my work using digital and physical mediums.
