"I am a Columbus-based multimedia artist. Ohio has always been my home, with a brief five-year stint in Bloomington, Indiana for college where I earned a BFA in printmaking. However, I developed an interest in photorealist painting which led me to realize that I needed to take my own photos. After graduating from IU, I came back to Columbus and got my MA in photography and cinema from OSU.

An archivist by instinct, I collect and create images to construct a visual vocabulary. My working habits and processes originate from formal studies in printmaking, painting, drawing, photography, graphic design and textiles.

I am concept-driven and view processes as tools in my toolbox. Social, political, feminist and environmental issues have often been the core of my work. Ultimately, I am a storyteller and tell my stories in a variety of ways, both literal and non-literal.

As an example, BEST SERVED COLD is an installation of 100 screen-printed napkins and 100 photographs that has been exhibited at Cleveland State University Galleries, the Southern Ohio Museum, the Dairy Barn Arts Center in Athens, OH and the Cultural Arts Center in Columbus.

For several years I have been creating a series called POLITICAL SCIENCE. I collect political yard signs after elections to deconstruct them and transform them from seasonal ephemera to more permanent political truths.

This work has been exhibited in many venues including the Riffe Biennial, OH+5, National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia (WORD POWERED) and recently in the OAL Fall Exhibit at the Shot Tower in Columbus.  The 19th Amendment has been shown as part of the Sara and Michelle Vance exhibits at Dayton Art Institute (RIVETING), Lubeznik Center in Michigan City, IN (WOMEN TO THE FRONT) and MOCA/CT in Westport, CT (ENOUGH ALREADY).

I received an Individual Excellence Award from The Ohio Arts Council for 2021."
