Glad to know you.

I am a Pittsburgh-based artist, whose work explores the tactile nature of art.

I take inspiration from the boundlessness of life around us — the warmth of the summer sun, the memories that dance in and out of thoughts at will, the crunch and crinkle of autumn leaves under your feet. I make art for those of us who walk into a museum and want to touch everything.

Prior to my career as an artist, I worked as a teacher, recruiter, and community organizer, developing programs to help students build their capacity to achieve their goals.
