ArtPrize 2014
Senior Thesis Show
My work organizes the contingent objects in formal patterns. I use these ordinary materials in a way that a painter would use paint. These materials stand in for my painterly style, but simultaneously deny it. My work explores the space of the wall; coming off the wall and exploring the space between the materials and the wall itself. I control and manipulate the materials in the same way that a painter manipulates the paint. I control the chaos. As Jessica Stockholder wrote in Powerful Art and Power, “I value the role that art plays creating friction, agitating, questioning, and challenging the systems we live with.” Not excluding the system of a painting. I challenge the elevated notion of painting by deciding to deny painting all together by using ordinary materials as paint.

ArtPrize 2012
This fall has been a very exciting fall for me. I have been given the opportunity to show two different pieces of artworks. I received the award of being a finalist for the Photographer's Forum Best of College Photography contest. Another show that I got the opportunity to be in was ArtPrize 2012 in Grand Rapids, MI. This is a large art competition where there were over 1500 entries.

TrapCat Show
Trapcat is the student run gallery at Trinity Christian College. Each student must show their work in that space at least once before they graduate. My show was just taken down and was up from February 11-22, 2013. There was a short reception where a couple of my classmates and me discussed my paintings. I showed three paintings that included the one that was recently shown in Art Prize. Here is a picture of the show that was up and if you have any comments, questions or interest in purchasing feel free to contact me
