I was born in Minneapolis and raised on working class ethics, progressive politics, street art and hip-hop. I have a deep love of studying and learning through collaboration and experiences. I have traveled, worked and painted everywhere from Mexico City to Toronto, looking for inspiration under bridges, on the streets, and in galleries across North America, and up and down Lake Street, and Franklin Ave the main arteries that connect South Minneapolis and St Paul.

I work as a teaching artist, community muralist, and gallery director at Mudluk Pottery. My own art practice includes painting urban landscapes on discarded windows and pieces of wood, printmaking and endless sketching. I recently discovered quilting and am enchanted by the all the possibilities of patterns and practice. Art is a tool that I use to ease anxiety, build connection, amplify resistance to help us create a more just world.
