Biography

My current research focuses on the existing space between my personal experience of motherhood and how notions of identity are understood. My studio practice combines painting, sculpture, and installation to form a visual narrative of being both a  mother and an artist. 

I received my Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of South Carolina in 2021, and my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from the College of Charleston in 2011. My awards include the McColl Parents and Educators Residency and the Emerging Artists Grant from the South Carolina Arts Commission. I have volunteered for three years with the Amigo Skate Nonprofit; collecting, organizing, and transporting skateboard equipment to Cuban youth in Havana which has allowed me to develop close relationships and a passion and appreciation for the culture of Cuba.
