About The Artist

Early Years

I grew up in a small Northeast Ohio town. I have an older sister and a mess of step and in-law siblings. My parents divorced when I was 8, so I split my time between my dad's suburban home and my mom's horse farm. 


Growing up on the farm taught me hard work and dedication. I loved riding horses, tearing through the fields on quads, fishing and being free to run. I love the wide open fields and smell of dust and animals.


I didn't have many friends growing up; only one really close friend, Erika. I was very shy and only liked talking to adults. I honestly didn't show much interest or skills in art until the end of middle school.

2011, age 17. My High School art teacher and some of my best friends.

High School

I owe a lot of my skill and passion for art to my High School Art Teacher, Mr. Hoopes. He taught me skills and techniques that shaped me into the artist I am today. I was also inspired by my friends Robin, CJ, Erika and Stephanie, who are also amazing artists.


The school I went to was very up-tight and preppy. I really didn't fall into any "Cliques", so I stuck to the few friends I had. We all were different in our own way and didn't fit in anywhere. I dealt with a lot of depression because of my parents divorce and remarriages, so I am very thankful to my friends for being there at some of my lowest points.

2012, age 19. Trip to downtown Chicago.

To Chicago and Back!

When I was only 18, I met a man that would change my life forever. He convinced me to leave everything I knew behind and move to Chicago to find better opportunities. Though I came from a comfortable middle-class family who would gladly assist me, I was desperate to prove to myself and the world I could make it on my own.


After moving to Chicago, I faced many trials. I had to buckle down and get a full-time job as an assistant manager at a local restaurant to get by. This gave me a lot of experience that I am very thankful for and broke me out of my shy, self-centered shell. Eventually, I decided it was best we go separate ways and moved back to Ohio in 2018 to re-center myself.

California and Covid

At the beginning of 2020 I went to visit my partner, William, in California. While I was there, the Pandemic began and I was stuck there. We feared traveling back to Ohio would be too risky. After months of being together 24/7, we figured why not just move me in!

I now have my very own studio space where I can work comfortably and truly pursue my dream of being a self-sustaining artist! I am thankful everyday for William and his wonderful Grandparents for supporting me through all this madness.
