A bit about me

These days, I live in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood with my dog, Rufus (pictured). I work in marketing, but I try to take advantage of my remote setup to spend as much time with art as I can do.

I grew up in Nashville, Tennessee, where my family moved after a few years in San Francisco to be closer to family. I know that I love Nashville because I still love to go back, even though it’s grown and changed incomprehensibly in my lifetime.

Before attending the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, where I majored in Communications with minors in Hispanic Studies and Modern Middle Eastern Studies, I went to high school at Nashville’s Montgomery Bell Academy.

Although I took studio art classes through high school, those stopped in college until a senior-year try at Drawing I. While I’m back in the swing of things now, my artist self feels entirely nascent, so I’m going to avoid any normative descriptions of my artwork and aesthetic sensibility other than to say that I try to make things that look good to me. Taking note of the pretty things around makes all the difference.
