Born and raised in Kingston, NY, I grew up in a family of creators, so it was inevitable that I'd pursue an art career for myself.  I completed my BS in Visual Arts at SUNY New Paltz in 2016, and am currently working as a program coordinator and teacher for the Department of Regional Art Workers (D.R.A.W.) in Kingston, NY.  From time to time, I also work with the Pop-Up Gallery Group (P.U.G.G.)--a work-study program that teaches Kingston High School students how to curate, set up, and maintain gallery spaces.

I've struggled with various mental illnesses such as anxiety and depression for the vast majority of my life.  Only in the last few years have I retaken control, though I still struggle.  My current work is both an affirmation of and a rebellion against my mental illness.  It is a rebirth after years of struggling to stay above the surface.
