Artist’s Bio
I have lived in Lincoln Nebraska my whole life but I love to travel and see new things. I graduated from Nebraska Wesleyan University in 2020 with a major in studio art. I have focused on using acrylic paint as my medium while emphasizing texture/color. After graduating, I completed an internship at the Bemis Center for art. I continue to volunteer at The LUX Center for the arts and show my work in local stores, antique businesses, and other spaces around the Lincoln area. If I am not working on art I work for Oak Creek Plants and Flowers. My job title is Plant Maintenance which means I water, replace, and clean plants. The more I learn about plants the more they have become a part of my life and art.
Artist Statement
My artwork is whimsical and bold but has a depth that rewards close looking. Sometimes it is overwhelming to think about what is going to happen next when we do not have a lot of answers to our questions. Different emotions and anxiety can overwhelm our lives. I make the art I do to create a glimpse of joy. It is important to me that people have something to turn to and get lost in. Something that is not telling them about a diagnosis or receiving bad news. Letting a person just be able to reflect and meditate. Something that is not asking us to do anything but look, and let our mind wander.
