hail, and well met! Digital mediums are my forte, and I strive to provide quality art, concepts and designs for all my clients. When it comes to my work, I love to bring forth a sense of belonging to those who do not belong and bring life into the dramatic, melancholic ideas I’ve nurtured since my youth. Born and raised in north dakota but currently living in washington state.

✱     Crow’s Coffee Waldo Spotlight Exhibition .         Fall 2022 / KCMO
Among a pool of local KCMO artists, I was chosen to be featured in a month long “spotlight” exhibition in the coffeeshop Crow’s Coffee Waldo. I communicated with the business owner to set a time for installing my work, including framing and wiring and creating art labels, and sold 4 pieces out of 7, in which I conducted payment and delivery with the clients.✱     bfa show .         Spring 2022 / KCMO
Had two featured pieces in a gallery showing of all graduating students works, both of which were sold. I went through the entire application process including putting together an artist statement, CV and detailed proposal, after which being approved I continued maintenance over them through the course of the exhibit, including installing and uninstalling the pieces. I contacted the individual clients who purchased the pieces, conducting payment and scheduling delivery, and delivered them to the clients after the show completed.✱     the harvest .         Fall 2021 / KCMO
Collaborated and contributed to a student-run job fair, known as “The Harvest”, featuring the Illustration department student body with an emphasis on the graduating senior class for an opportunity to create connections with potential clients. I set up my own booth, took inventory of everything I sold and promoted my work to local KC businesses and fellow artists.✱     Mural for East High School .         fall 2020 / KMCO Collaborated with other students and community in a team to design and illustrate an installation mural for a local school. These pieces were created digitally, then approved by the school staff before being installed as large-scale mural prints across the hallways.

"For an instant I dared to shake off my chains, and look around me with a free and lofty spirit; but the iron had eaten into my flesh, and I sank again, trembling and hopeless, into my miserable self."
