As a painter since childhood, I have always had a brush in my hand. Finding inspiration in the expressive brushstrokes of Impressionism painting, I began my journey early. In school, this drive was cultivated by loving teachers who allowed me to embrace this talent despite its ability to drive me to distraction. Growing up in a small town, I always described myself as a dreamer who was able to grow through a community that greatly supported my art. I completed my first mural while in high school for my hometown of Churubusco, Indiana in 2017 and have been consistently completing about two or three a year ever since. In 2021, I became a Purdue Fort Wayne graduate with a bachelor’s in art and design, and a minor in art history. Since then, I have been hired to complete both private and public murals in over five different counties in Indiana, as well as several smaller commissions for individuals and businesses alike. I've taught painting many times by hosting Wine and Canvas events, kid art camps, and after school programs. Now, I work commissions in around my full-time job as a creative director and junior assistant at Waterfield Plaza in Roanoke, IN.

I hope to continue my career as an artist and help local businesses promote their buildings and brands in creative and eye-catching ways. Within my endeavors to become an accomplished muralist, my main goal has always been to show others how beneficial it can be to take the monotonous parts of our environment and to create something completely new, and completely beautiful, out of them.
