I'm is a linocut focused artist living in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.  I graduated from the University of Iowa in 2005 with a BFA in Printmaking. After graduating, I worked in the San Francisco Bay Area as an art director for a museum dedicated to the bizarre.  In 2010 I moved to Colorado to pursue teaching.  I currently teach art in Steamboat.

 

In my current project, Strange Steamboat, I look to join local Wild West history with pop culture, and myths from around the world.   Steamboat has a strong identity of cowboys, sports and nature.  This project infuses those themes with the odd, such as robots, monsters, and mythical creatures.
