As an artist, the most valuable tool I have learned is to be able to be adaptable and be willing to try something new without fear of mistake or rejection. Though I tend to focus more on drawing, painting, and graphic design; during Covid, I began experimenting with making earrings which has been my most popular avenue for others to enjoy my art. When it comes to creativity – stepping outside of your comfort-zone is often where tangible growth occurs.

I majored in art history and minored in Women’s studies at the university of Wyoming. Then I went on to be a post-bachelorette, assisting in teaching college level drawing.
