I am a queer Seattle-based artist specializing in creating vibrant sculptures and built environments that stimulate the senses and invite interaction. I make work for a variety of contexts including galleries, stage productions, escape rooms, retail spaces and events.
My process of experimentation with texture and material are at the core of my work. My mixed media approach keeps me inspired and ever-evolving.
I hold a BFA from CalArts as well as a Certificate in Museum Studies from the University of Washington. I have been featured in Public Display Art Magazine and in a full page feature in the Seattle Times for my immersive installation project “STÖR”. I have exhibited in Los Angeles at the Silent Play Experiment, and in Italy as a fellow of the Nature Art & Habitat Residency. I've been featured locally at Vermillion, ARTS at King Street Station, The Museum of Museums, Frye Museum Store, Base Camp 1&2, Slip Gallery, and more.
