I am a recent college graduate from Eastern Illinois University. I graduated cum laude with a BFA in studio art. Currently, I bartend nights and create art during the day. I enjoy walking, painting, playing music, reading, and engaging in conversation (yes, I will talk to your dogs.) My passion for the arts, travel and animals is endless. I intend on going to graduate school in pursuit of my MFA and aspire to be a college professor and working artist in the future. I was raised in Blue Island, Illinois and am currently residing in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago. In my free time I enjoy supporting the local music scene by attending shows and supporting emerging artists at art openings. I find myself to be very personable and easy going.
