A little more about me
AT HOME
Originally from Detroit, I’ve been calling myself a Chicagoan since 2011. I live in Logan Square with my husband Eddie and 27 houseplants. Ask me about my time living in Japan!
IN THE STUDIO
Since 2015, I’ve used printmaking and painting to amplify the LGBTQ community through public artworks and exhibitions. My work has been featured by the Chicago Bulls, purchased by the Design Museum of Chicago, and is owned by collectors around the world.
