In 2001 I earned a BFA in printmaking from Colorado State University. In 2006 I earned an MFA in figurative art with a concentration in drawing and relief printmaking from the New York Academy of Art. Now I work as a freelance illustrator in Fort Collins, Colorado. I love the smell of tomato plants, skiing on bluebird days, and admiring my grandma's tea cup collection. I don't like green olives or zombies.
