My beaded art often depicts surreal scenery, nature, and abstract compositions drawn with code. I am very grateful to have held prestigious residencies at the InterUrban ArtHouse in Downtown Overland Park, Kansas and the Charlotte Street Foundation Studios in Kansas City, Missouri. My work has been acquired by the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, Emprise Bank, and numerous private collections. Just like many artists, during the pandemic I've re-centered to an studio practice at home.
