Born and raised in the Quad Cities, my love for art started at a very early age, Some of my first memories were drawing pictures for my grandparents, as my grandma made breakfast for the family and my grandpa watched the morning news. Seeing the joy and pride they took in their love for gardening always instilled in me to enjoy the things that make me happy, which is creating my art.

After graduating from Moline High School, I was accepted at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design. Feeling that MIAD was not the place for me to be in my life at that point, I decided to leave and return to Davenport, IA. Where from that point on I have been living and creating my art. My art is focused on the playful yet eerily creepy, the madness of violence and the beauty of it.

Any opinions or critiques on my work by anyone would be greatly appreciated. Please email me with any thoughts
