I was born in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, between the cornfields and coyotes. I was raised to love animals and friends, walking and cooking, baking and eating, suspense and surprises. Problem solving is one of my greatest joys.

Everything I do in life and art is based on a desire for contact with people I know, and people I'm meant to meet. I strive to maintain these connections over distance and extend the common experiences that keep us together. Most of my time is spent making food for others. I take pictures every day toward a never-ending visual archive of experience.

I currently live in Los Angeles, CA and work as a Visual Resources Specialist at the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library.
