Skip to content Artist Vitae
My Artist Vitae (the fancy way of saying Artist Resume) is where you’ll find my gallery representation, exhibitions, and awards that have shaped my career as an artist. I have a four-year bachelor of science degree in Environmental and Public Health from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. I enjoy bringing my science background into my work as an artist.
