How do we relate to each other as individuals and as a community? For the past decade, I have been exploring how we interact in public, private and online. Where does it bleed into one another and how can we communicate on all levels to elevate our understanding of our world and each other? I create art in my studio, in public and online trying to answer these questions.

Recently, I have been serving as an Americorps VISTA and incorporating my artistic background into my public service. I sold my paintings in a fundraiser for a homeless program, designed logos for city and neighborhood organizations, created a public art program with local elementary schools that will be displayed this summer, and am designing a pop up park for a vacant lot.
