I am fascinated by critical theory, and its implications in the realms of both Contemporary Art, and Modernism. I am a video artist, illustrator, designer, painter, and sculptor, with a background in teaching art, glass blowing, and art materials research. I have a B.F.A. in studio art with an emphasis on sculpture from the College of Arts and letters at Eastern Washington University.
I’m a tattoo artist of 20+ years. Dabbled in painting years ago and am back into it. I also write my own poetry to go with the paintings.

I am a prolific artist who is currently working with metal. I had the great fortune to attend Spokane Falls Community College for three years of art education in both 2D and 3D disciplines. My work at this point is metal covered boxes, jewelry, chains, etchings, hand-cast objects. I work at art for the better part of every day. I can’t imagine being happy doing anything else!
I work mostly in acrylic and oil with hard edges, intense colors, and finicky detail. I like to show what’s absurd but not impossible, to take the ordinary out of context, and to turn the familiar into the strange.
