I'm an artist and assistant professor of art based out of West TN.  I have an AFA in Fine Art from East Central College, a BFA in Sculpture from The Herron School of Art & Design at IUPUI, and an MFA in Visual Art from Washington University in St. Louis.

​

I work in a lot of different media, but I'm primarily a sculptor/painter.  My work deals with navigating the physical and emotional struggles of living in a disabled body.

​

The chairs in my recent work are a motif that represent people.  They're anthropomorphized and can act as either my self-portraits or just humans in general.  Sometimes they're funny, and sometimes they're more serious, but the chairs give me a way to communicate difficult emotions and connect with an audience.
