ABOUT THE ARTIST:
I’m a Columbus, OH native and have been creating art full time for the past twelve years. I primarily make large installations that are inspired by nature, magic and fantasy. I have exhibited my work nationally with solo exhibitions across the country. Teaching is a way for me to connect with my community. I currently teach at CCAD and in the past I have taught at Penn State University, The Cultural Arts Center, The McConell Arts Center as well as elementary and high schools in Columbus. I started creating Cloud Buddies during my residency at Women’s Studio Workshop in spring 2014. Cloud Buddies were inspired by The Women’s March on Washington, they are soldiers in a “love army,” providing the world with joy and happiness.
