ABOUT

Welcome to my site! Here is a little background information about me: I was born in Montana, and lived there 3 years until my family moved to Buffalo, Wyoming. Just after I turned 13, we moved to Worland, Wyoming where my parents bought a large property out of town. I had never been a city kid (Wyoming is devoid of such things), but moving out to the country significantly impacted how I grew up and the way in which I experienced life. My parent’s house is 15 minutes from town, which isn’t much, but a “quick run” to the grocery store can easily become and hour and a half. This rural living made me really good at making do with what I had, or making the right tool for the job if it didn’t exist at our house. I think this is something that I translate into ceramics. I love making something beautiful out of just a lump of clay. Clay is the great imitator and it can become anything I want it to be.

​After high school, I moved to Oregon, where I got my Associate of Art from Southwestern Oregon Community College. The pandemic hit when I was in my second year of college, and instead of attempting an art degree online, I went back home and lived with my parents for a year and a half. After the pandemic was over, I returned to college, but by the changing world, I went to the University of Wyoming.

At UW I was taught by Kait Arndt, and learned that my real passion in art was in ceramics (I had previously wanted to be an illustrator!) In the fall of 2023 I went on a study abroad trip to Japan, where I spent 4 1/2 months at Kobe Jogakuin, a Christian Women's College just outside of Osaka.

When I returned from my study abroad, I joined the BFA program. I received a BFA from the University of Wyoming in 2025. I am currently working as a Post Undergraduate Assistant at the University of Wyoming.
