       About Me



Ever since I was capable of cognitive thought, I have loved two things: animals and art. I was born in Atlanta, Georgia but grew up in the small town of Sewanee nestled in the hills of Tennessee with my parents, younger brother, and four cats. I spent most of my childhood tromping around in the woods and wilderness of Sewanee, and allowed the natural landscape to influence my artwork. In high school, I developed my passion for ecology and wildlife in my biology classes, and during my semester at the Chewonki Semester School in Wiscasset, Maine. I graduated from Bowdoin College in 2017 with a degree in Biology and Visual Arts, and am now living and working near Portland, Maine. I share a studio with my friend and fellow artist, Abe Tensia and love to collaborate with her. As I continue to do art, I strive to promote awareness of place, the natural world and the importance of conserving the ecology within it.

 

I learned the art of screen printing initially as a student at Bowdoin, but honed my skills as an apprentice of Matt Walker and Chris Bates in Atlanta. Now I have my own press and print my own designs. My next endeavor is to learn how to tattoo my own designs!
