BACKGROUND

Born: 1976, Appleton, Wisconsin
I studied fine art and art history at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois from which I was awarded a bachelor of arts. After graduation, I moved from Evanston to Boston and studied architecture at The Boston Architectural Center and apprenticed in stained glass at the Lyn Hovey Studio. For the past seven years, I have been painting full time. I work in oil on canvas and am known for vibrant and strong colors, dynamic brushwork, and controlled compositions. I am an active member of the Boston Art Community with strong ties to local galleries, art associations, and cultural organizations.

My artwork is held in private and corporate collections throughout the United States.
