My art is focused on my individual experience of being queer and transgender, capturing the essences of my identity as well as feelings of deep love for those around me. I have been a lifelong artist, working in different media over the years such as crochet, knitting, drawing, painting, and printmaking. I began knitting in 2009, my craft evolving over the years until intersecting with my love for visual art in late 2019. Using the technique of double knitting, I create works of art that give off a sense of comfort and warmth, contributing to my themes of love, wonder, and connection with others.

I’m a 23 year old artist living and working in Michigan. My fiber art career began in elementary school when I would crochet and sell pencil cases to my class mates, and I’ve been interested in selling my work since. I have a BA in Art History with a minor in German from Central Michigan University. This is where I began printmaking, and have fallen in love with it. I hope to continue to solidify my artistic voice and dedicate as much time as I can creating things I love.
