ABOUT
I am a multidisciplinary artist and musician born and raised in Southern California, currently living and working in Chicago, Illinois. I graduated with a Bachelors of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2026 after studying primarily in the Sculpture, Printmaking, and Art + Technology Departments. I try to do everything I can.
My practice is very wide ranging, but tends toward ideas of exploration, navigation, the big city, noise, building, simplification, and faith. My process oscillates between slow accumulation and snap decisions. Every part of my life stems from and returns to my creative practice.
