The arts have always been a part of my life, dating back to the days
I spent with my grandmother and her Tuesday afternoon craft group. I
would have to say my grandmother was a huge inspiration for me to
continue in this field. I was born in Wisconsin. I attended the
University of Wisconsin at Madison, earned an art education degree,
and taught one year of elementary and high school art.
Currently I am living in Nashville, TN, enjoying the laid back,
southern, city life. I am working and attending Watkins College of
Art and Design, pursuing a degree in graphic design. I will soon be
interning in the print department at CMT (country music television)
in Nashville to further my design knowledge and skills, preparing
myself for the real world as a graphic designer. I can't wait!
