My curiosity and love of reading, learning, and art have directed the course of my life. One interest leads to another. I love reading, and I want to draw what I read. When I am curious about other times and places, I pick up a book.

It is probably no surprise that art museums are one of my favorite places to go, and I seek them out whenever I travel. It would be a dream to work in one, and to do that I need to earn a master’s degree in Art History.

I am a graduate student at Lindenwood University; pursuing a degree in Art History and Visual Culture. I pursued traditional Illustration, in my undergraduate studies at the Ringling College of Art and Design.

My previous work experience is as a middle school art teacher, a product photographer, and photoshop artist.
