I like to think that experiences I have had while living all over the west have had a great influence on my work. I was born and raised in Salt Lake, and am proud to once again be calling Utah home. I am currently completing a BFA at Weber State University. My current work involves someof the ideas behind knowledge making and information transfer. In my paintings and prints I use simplified imagery taken from diagrams, maps, manuals, and textbooks to facilitate an experience for myself and viewers. Through this experience I hope that viewers will come to make connections between ideas to which they have not been accustomed.
