About Me

I grew up in Missoula and have been taking art classes my entire life. In high school, I experimented with oil painting, watercolor, sculpting and drawing. I earned a minor in art and design from the University of Michigan STAMPS School of Art and Design in 2022, where I focused on observational and architectural drawing. Currently, I primarily practice architectural drawing with a variety of pen and ink materials.

I spent two years in Spain teaching English post-college, and my love of drawing was completely reignited in the spring of 2024 when I hiked the Camino de Santiago with a friend. For 6 days, I drew a buildingscape in a small sketchbook of each village we walked to. I had fallen out of the practice of creating art for a couple years, and this small routine reintroduced me to the meditative nature of drawing. For the remainder of my time in Spain, I did not stop drawing, filling this small sketchbook with drawings of the beautiful scenes of Madrid and all the places I traveled to. Returning to my hometown in the summer of 2024, I felt lucky to build on this practice by capturing Missoula’s abundance of storied and elegant architecture. My favorite way to capture a moment or scene is to draw it. Drawing slows my mind down, helps me stay present and gifts me with a richness I can’t seem to find anywhere else.

Engaging with Missoula’s lively arts community has been a truly uplifting experience— thanks for letting me share my work with you!
