bio
I was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama. In 2000, I received a BA in Studio Art from Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. After college, I relocated to Carrboro and later Durham, North Carolina. While living in the southeast, I studied at Penland School of Crafts, Meredith College, Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, and The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In 2005, I was chosen as one of thirty contemporary North Carolina artists to exhibit work at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh and at the Mint Museum in Charlotte, North Carolina. That same year I had a solo show at Branch Gallery.
In 2009 I graduated with an MFA in Art Studio from the University of California at Davis. While studying at Davis, I was a Joan Mitchell Foundation Nominee, received the Robert Arneson Award, the Fay Nelson Award, two Freedmond Gadberry Student Awards, and a Graduate Research Grant. I was also the Graduate Coordinator of the 2008-2009 UC Davis Art Studio Program Lecture Series, in charge of coordinating, promoting, and planning the year-long lecture series.
I currently live in Brooklyn, NY.
