Biography

Based in Minnesota’s Twin Cities, I am an artist primarily working with blown glass. I have a master’s degree in Art History and Museum Studies, and I take inspiration from historical and cultural settings, such as museums, community events, and travel.

My playful approach aims to invite viewers to explore their own version of how fine art and traditional craft converge.
