born in Aurora, Colorado in ââ¬Åthe seventiesââ¬Â and was raised in San Antonio, Texas (mass shooting survivor!), and Salt Lake City, Utah. I live and work in New York City. I received a BA in English from the University of Texas at Austin and an AAS in Visual Communications from the Illinois Institute of Art in Chicago. I began my career in Austin, as a member of the punk rock band, the Motards ââ¬â designing posters and record covers in the burgeoning DIY music scene there throughout the 1990ââ¬â¢s before continuing my art and design practice in the DIY music scene in Chicago in the aughts.
My work has been recognized by the AIGA, HOW magazine and Communication Arts, was featured in Gestaltenââ¬â¢s, Impressive: Printmaking, Letterpress & Graphic Design (2010), in Basheer Graphic Groupââ¬â¢s, Creative Calendar Collection (2011), and in The Empty Bottle Chicago: 21+ Years Music / Friendly / Dancing (2017) from Curbside Splendor Publishing. I have exhibited my work in galleries in New York, Chicago, Charleston, SC and Austin, TX, and my work resides in the permanent collection of the Chicago Historical Society. In 2017, I had my first solo show at Fort Houston in Nashville, TN.
