I’ve carved a winding path through the arts, entertainment, and event industries, including stints in screen-printing, stained glass, event production, and monumental sculpture.

I started my career establishing a non-profit gallery and studio collective, now celebrating its 23rd year in Detroit, Michigan.

Since arriving in Portland, I’ve produced sculptures for the Portland Winter Light Festival, TEDx PDX, Burning Man, and most recently, Portland's own FATHOM. My paintings have been shown in dozens of exhibitions and publications, including Brassworks Gallery and Birdy Magazine. My stop-motion credits include the feature films Wendell & Wild and LAIKA’s Wildwood. Sculpture and acrylic painting make up most of my personal studio practice.

Commissions, inquiries, and collaborations are always welcome!
