I am a Chicago based artist working in a variety of media. I have three primary bodies of work:
The Doll Project, Post-Consumerism, and Recessionism. I studied art as an undergraduate at the
University of Chicago and interior design at Harrington College of Design and hold a Masters
Degree in Painting from Governors State University.
My art has been exhibited in several Chicago area venues, including The Chicago Children's
Museum and a solo exhibition at the Second Floor Gallery of the Fine Arts Building. When I am
not painting, I work as a freelance interior designer and receptionist.
