I am an artist who, like so many others out there, seeks to expose, understand, represent, and embody the complexities of our shared condition; endeavors to make authentic connections possible; and strives to find their place in a world increasingly driven by things that attempt to separate us from our commonalities. I graduated with a Ph.D. from the Department of Sociology at Washington State University. Currently, I reside and find my home in the Willamette Valley, fed by its fertile lands and the hills and forests that surround.
