My work revolves around the marks of life and how relics from those before us effect the world with their existance long after they have faded. The echo of a living presence is a repository of altered, created, and discarded objects and components of the environment. The mark of life mark on the world around us in its many forms, be it in the whispered histories from the peripheries of our habitats or our collective legacy, is my interest.

I employ what remains--discarded, manipulated, and found objects--in work that layers and amplifies the all-too-often unnoticed miscocosim of whispered histories. The subjects span from textures and found objects to world cultures and civic concepts and allow me to structure a dialogue between audience and concept that is alanagous to the subject's voice itself.

I am native of the Piedmont area of North Carolina, born in Winston-Salem in 1987. I studied sculpture, photography, anthropology and English. I graduated from Appalachian State University and was also a student at the Australian National University, and the University of New Mexico at Taos.

I live and work in both Blowing Rock and Black Mountain, North Carolina.
