I was born in Tennessee and received my BFA in painting at the Middle Tennessee State University in 2019. During that time, I was fortunate to work as a educational supervisor at the Frist Art Museum in Nashville and as a committee member for the Murfreesboro Art Crawl. I was then accepted for a Graduate Assistant position at  Southern Illinois University in Carbondale where I am currently working towards a Masters of Fine Art with an emphasis on Painting. 
           My current work is introspective of American architypes and their relationship to classical representations of "timeless" emotions - or rather the characteristics that are ever present in people. I am interested in the cyclical nature of history and the connections that can be made between our perception of the current state of the world and historical perceptions recited to us through art.
