I was born in Minneapolis, but raised in a little house on a quiet meadow outside of Nederland, Colorado. I loved making art and I had the quiet space to experiment out in the mountains.
In 2009 I left my little town for Portland, Oregon to study illustration at PNCA. There I cultivated an entirely new set of skills and found new inspiration from my peers who produced amazing art all around me.
Today I am a working artist living in NW Portland, finding nooks and crannies of time to create the things I love.
