Education

Ohio University

I was lucky to spend four great years at Ohio University, studying under Don Adleta, Sherry Blankenship, as well as Joshua Bodman and Molly Schoenhoff. At Ohio University I was exposed to a variety of different schools of thought, not only in Design, but in Art in general. My studio experience was divided across a wide variety of different mediums and practices, all of which have been incorporated into my personal aesthetic as an artist.
