I am an artist living in Des Moines, Iowa. I am currently a Visiting Assistant Professor of Art and Studio Technician at Drake University.

I earned my MFA in Sculpture with Honors from the University of Iowa in 2009. Recent achievements include a major artists grant from the Iowa Arts Council (2006), attending Skowhegan (2007), the Re/Act 4th Annual Digital Media Festival in Heidelberg, Germany (2008), the "Power and Currency" show, curated by Natalie Kates at Factory Fresh Art Gallery in Brooklyn, NY (2008), and the "Misfits Print Portfolio #2" Exhibition, curated by Curtis Readel and Mike McGovern, at Columbia College in Chicago, IL (2009). I currently have a video/sculpture installation in the Iowa Artists 2010 Exhibition at the Des Moines Art Center through Sept 19, 2010.
