From the gallery to public space, communities, and educational institutions, I aim to stem perplexing thought about existing ways of being in fields of reuse, interaction, value, exchange, design and politics. My affinity to nature, community and experiences with many different cultures has led me to maintain an art practice in sculpture, community work, design and collaboration. I work to re-purpose materials, spaces, and communities, aiming to question systems already in place in our society. I recieved my MFA in Sculpture from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2008 and BFA in Sculpture from Montana State University in 2004.
