I live and practice in Ogden, UT where I am also an adjunct instructor of visual arts. I am married to my best friend who is my strongest artistic supporter. Together we have a rescue dog, two rescue snails, and three rats. I graduated with a Master of Fine Arts in April of 2023 where I studied figurative painting.

I am most interested in creating figurative pieces that challenge gender ideals. Specifically, I love to put male figures with feminine features in surreal settings. I love how people become so fixated on trying to figure out if the figure is a man or woman that they lose the story of the piece itself. This points out our deep concern in American Culture to know if the person we are looking at is a man or woman and we become so fixated on that concern that we lose context of everything else.
