I was born in Chicago and grew up in the woods of South Bend, Indiana. During my time in Arizona as an undergrad and four years in Oakland, the second half of my life was firmly planted in Colorado. Last spring, I relocated to the state's Southern region after years of Denver life. The outdoors, history/anthropology, live music, and good banter are things I enjoy and sometimes inspire my makings. 

I have been fortunate to be a full-time artist for 11 years. I have shown in galleries, art fairs, and a few museums extensively in North America. In addition to my art practice, I run a small curatorial project called Neü Folk. The name comes from a show I was quite proud of in 2013, a survey of artists across the globe working in the field of hand-made/traditional/folk art.

I recently was told I'm a landscape painter, and I like that sentiment. I enjoy mixing primitive with the present, acknowledging folk tendencies in my work and a stubborn belief in analog processes.
