2019 Work Samples

I am a multi-disciplinary artist. While drawing and illustration are some of my most regularly used formats, I also utilize needle-crafts and paper-based sculptural techniques to create my work. I am inspired by vintage craft books, retired brand mascots, pop culture, the Midwest, the awkwardness of being human, and local cultural phenomena. Creativity is part of processing my way through life; what (and how) I make evolves along with me. Staying inquisitive and having fun are core parts of my practice. Above all, I believe creativity is one of life’s joys. It’s something that exists within all of us that can be channeled in a multitude of ways. That’s beautiful.
