About

I am a fiber artist interested in the emotions and histories that exist inside of domestic objects. Blending secondhand objects with experimental handiwork techniques, I create highly tactile works to facilitate questions about the power of shared identity and community in a world that is increasing

In 2020 I was chosen as a CFDA Future Fashion Graduate after finishing my Bachelors of Fine Arts at Kent State University. My multidisciplinary work has been shown across the US in spaces such as LVL 3, Co-Prosperity, Hawthorne Contemporary, and Happy Gallery.

My work is currently being supported in-kind by the Lawyers for the Creative Arts in Chicago, Illinois.
