I grew up in rural London, Ohio surrounded by nature. This gave me a great love and appreciation for animals and the environment. I now live in Phoenix, Arizona where I discover new things about the natural world nearly everyday just by looking out the window at my bird feeders. I use a wide variety of media including pencil, pen, colored pencil, watercolors, acrylic, and found objects in my whimsical art to express this love I have for nature.

I am currently attending ASU as a sculpture major.

I currently volunteer for Artlink. (I answer the phone messages)
