She was born in Berkeley California and grew up in Connecticut, trailing her entomologist father with a butterfly net in one hand and a sketchbook in the other. Not much has changed.

She recently received her MFA from MICA’s Hoffberger School of Painting in Baltimore and is currently living and making work in Brooklyn, New York.
