Biography

I make images and live in Richmond, VA.
I was born in Wilmington, DE in 1987 and then moved to Richmond, VA, where I graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2009 with a BFA from the Department of Communication Arts, attended the Illustration Academy in the summer of 2008, apprenticed under Sterling Hundley in 2009 and 2010, and went post-grad at The Art Department in 2011 and 2012. In addition to schooling, I backpacked across Europe for a couple of months in 2009 and moved to Chicago in 2012 to play in a band for two years. Moved back to Richmond where I worked as an adjunct professor at Virginia Commonwealth University for 4 years.
