BIOGRAPHY
I'm a professional artist who resides in Unicoi, TN. Trained as a printmaker, I began my studies at East Tennessee State University (BFA 1995) and continued my fine art education at Arizona State University (MFA 1999). After college, I worked as a vitreography printer for Harvey Littleton Studios. I later worked as a muralist at a local childrens' museum, where I enhanced permanent and traveling exhibits. I went on to receive a MAT degree in K-8 Education/K-12 Art Education (2005) and taught Art for 17 years before pursuing a career as a full-time artist.
My artwork can be found in collections across the country including: The New Britain Museum of American Art; Scottsdale Contemporary Museum of Art; University of Washington Book Arts and Rare Book Collection; North West Art Center; and the Tucson Museum of Art, among others.
