I hold a Master of Fine Arts from Southern Illinois University. I use many mediums, such as pencil, pen & ink, Copic markers, and recently digital compositions.  My recent surreal montages, compiled from late 19th-century photographs, family pictures, and found images are a journey into the realm of dreams, memories, and fantasy. During quarantine me and my friend Patrick Harvey created 4 self-published books; combining imagery and poetry that participate in a call and response.

I worked as an assistant to the curator at SIU and then helped design exhibits for a small history museum. I have taught art at the community college level while raising two boys and worked at the Drury Library as a System Administrator and web designer. Art and music were on the back burner during this time, but I am excited to be creating art and making music again. 

I look at art as a storytelling event, allowing the viewer to explore possible storylines. I take my vintage images and explore different life journeys for them.
