When I was little, people would ask me what my name was.
I’d reply: “I’m an artist.”

I grew up in St. Louis in the 90s, back when kids still ventured into the woods to build tree forts and in my case, giant catapults. In 2011, I graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art with a BFA in Interdisciplinary Sculpture and Linguistics.
I traveled through the US and world in my 20s, getting beautifully lost and finding myself in the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina, where I live and work full time as a poet, artist, and arborist.

I am on earth to open people up to the power of their own stories.
