Their work is interdisciplinary and conceptually-bent. Born in New Orleans, they studied Interdisciplinary Studio Art at Iowa State University, and continued graduate studies exploring Contemporary Art and Cultural Theory. Their work has been exhibited nationally, including awards and solo exhibitions at Gallery 181 in Iowa.
