Horses and art have been the two greatest passions of my life since very early on, thanks to my parents. I pursued both through college, where I rode for the Indiana University Equestrian Team all four years and graduated in 2012 with a B.A. in Fine Art and a B.A. in Spanish Language.

In my photography, I look for beauty and grit. My camera allows me to freeze a moment in time, the emotion of an instant, whether it be a fleeting action or a quiet moment. I learned to bring my camera everywhere I go, in case lightning strikes, and this has served me well over the years.

As a graphic designer, I do my best to bring my varied skillset and experience to each project. I enjoy whipping up clean, minimalist designs as much as I love getting lost in the fine details of a creative illustration.

In 2018, my husband and I moved to Wyoming to work as wranglers on a guest ranch, which allowed me to combine horses and photography. I fell in love with the West – the culture, the people and their hard-earned grit that can only come from living in such rough country. I was thrilled to be the 2019 Art of the Cowgirl Photography Fellowship recipient and had the opportunity to refine my skills and improve my craft while learning from master photographer, Constance Jaeggi.

My husband and I now live back in the Midwest where I’m happy to be building my career as an artist again, though I’ll head West whenever it calls.
