About

Art has been a passion of mine my entire life. I experiment in many mediums including oil paint, gouache, printmaking, collage, ceramics, and jewelry making. Recently, I have been exploring a newfound passion for analog and digital photography. The work displayed here strives to convey the important role art has played in my life and includes work from Colorado College, my abroad experience as a studio art major at Syracuse in Florence, Italy, a Parsons Summer Intensive photography course, the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) Pre-College art & design program, as well as high school. I am currently studying studio art and psychology at Colorado College.
