My love of painting and collage began when I studied painting at California State Summer School for the Arts at CalArts in when I was 17. It was then that I knew I wanted to be a visual artist, and less than a year later I was thrilled to be accepted into the prestigious Stamps school of Art & Design at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I studied studio art there, went to Copenhagen to study interior architecture in 2015, and graduated with a BFA in Art & Design in spring of 2016 from the University of Michigan. Since then I have continued my studio practice at my home studio.
