I was born and raised in colorado springs, CO and have loved to create my entire life. some of my earliest memories are painting in my father’s garage on scrap wood, or going to the local art store downtown when he would take me with him on errands.

as I grew, I went in and out of spurts of creation. I always wanted to pursue art, but was never sure how to make it a reality. I dabbled, off and on, through my undergrad and the first half of my grad program.

as i dealt with life, love, and a world that doesn’t encourage creativity (and is becoming progressively harder to create in — this is a staunchly anti-generative ai brand), I’ve been clawing my way to my childhood dream. I had my first art show in November of 2025, and have been hitting the ground running ever since.

welcome to my dream, realized. thank you for being here.
