I grew up on a small farm in Ashfield, Ma. I am very thankful to my family for a lively childhood and their continued support.

After spending a year studying product design at the University of Cincinnati, I transferred to the University of Pennsylvania where I double majored in Fine Art and Visual Studies, with a concentration in Art History. I graduated into the COVID-19 pandemic.

My recent work explores my identity and related geopolitical histories. I engage these histories to expose the politicization of nature and invite the viewer to consider their complicit relationship with the natural, networked, world around them.
