Artist Bio

I am a NYC-based artist and arts manager. I hold a BFA from UNC Asheville and an MA in Arts Administration from Columbia University. My work has been exhibited nationally in solo exhibitions at Ground Floor Contemporary (Birmingham, Alabama), Sean Christopher Gallery (Columbus, Ohio), and Tucker Cooke Gallery (Asheville, NC). Recent group exhibitions in NYC include Gallery Arte Azulejo, The Yard, and Equity Gallery. I have facilitated artist workshops and guest lectures at Rhode Island School of Art and Design (RISD), School of Visual Arts (SVA), Brooklyn Public Library, and Arts Students League, among others. I serve as Program Officer in Career Advice and Training at New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA).

Artist Statement

My work responds to the idealism and anxiety of endless striving, grappling with a relentless fixation on a better elsewhere. My 3D paintings and site-responsive installations invite the viewer to navigate an imagined landscape. Abstracted staircases defy spatial logic: rendered impossible to climb, they provide false pathways to an inaccessible place. Disjointed but interconnected, these structures weave through imagined skyscapes, waterscapes, and distant horizons that never arrive.
