I was born in Clarkston Washington in 1971, my parents then moved to Pasco Washington. I was raised with strong values and work ethic. At an early age I was encouraged to explore and interact with my surroundings. I am open to learning new and exciting things, which has given me broad and diverse interests as well as a rich work experience. I have worked as carpenter, construction laborer, assistant Pastry Chef, and a few others that have given me practical experience that I apply to my career as an artist.
The first serious interest I had in making art was during high school. That interest was taken to college where I received a BA in studio art. While working on my bachelors degree I chose not to focus on any one particular discipline, instead I studied art history, painting, printmaking and drawing. After a brief time of traveling abroad and working I returned to work towards an MFA in painting. The time spent working on my MFA was one of the most influential periods on my career as an artist. It helped me define my relation with the art making process, and has given me a point of departure.
I have been participating off and on in exhibitions since I was in high school. While working on my bachelors degree I was president of an organization that looked for exhibition space and exhibition opportunities for fellow college students. During that time I helped arrange and participate in several exhibitions and displays that were organized for charity fund raisers. While working on my MFA I was actively participating in school and local exhibition opportunities. Recently I have been exhibiting on both east and west coasts. Currently, I am preparing for upcoming solo exhibitions and I am working with the Smithsonian Institutes’s National Museum of the American Indian on the Move Project. The Move Project is moving a collection of close to 900,000 objects from the Research Branch in the Bronx New York to the Cultural Resource Center in Suitland Maryland.
