I am an artist living and working in Chicago, IL.
My practice is grounded within painting, collage, improvisation, and sport playing. 
I recieved an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, a BFA from The University of the Arts, and have attended the Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture.
Past exhibitions include Regards (Chicago, IL), Trinity Chrisitan College’s Seerveld Gallery (Palos Heights, IL), Patient Info (Chicago, IL), Free Range (Chicago, IL), Weatherproof (Chicago, IL), Color Club (Chicago, IL), Ortega y Gasset Projects (Brooklyn, NY), PII Gallery (Philadelphia, PA), amongst others. 
I am a current Lecturer in the Painting & Drawing department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and also work with kids. 

 
I just returned from walking around my block. I try to do this every morning. I live on a quiet street and it’s fairly predictable. I have noticed that the more that I do the same thing, like walking around my block, the more I can actually see it. My body, the pace of my breath, the sky, the trash, my roommate’s bike locked to the fence, time of day, those black cats, the neighbors and their rhythms, our interactions, our lack of intentions, our crossovers. I am interested in these immediate kinds of relationships and in witnessing their constant fluctuations.
