In 2014, I started volunteering with an Atlanta arts and community outreach center, where I started regularly making my own art again. I also volunteered with an organization that produced many of the murals in Atlanta, where I was introduced to public art and was able to work as an artist assistant for the first time. 

 

Seeing the impact that public art had on community members absolutely  changed my life, and I felt for the first time like I had found my passion. My journey inspired me to seek paid work as an artist assistant, which led me to Formations Studio, where I was hired on an 8 week contract that got extended and extended for about 2 years. I was able to work with Formations on many projects over the next 9 years, and it has been a huge influence on my life and work.

 

The desire to learn and make has driven me to seek out positions where I can assist other artists in the hands-on production of their work while continuing to pursue my own work as an independent artist. 

I've had the opportunity to work with dozens of artists, designers and fabricators over the last decade, as well as opportunities to pursue the creation and exhibition of work in my private practice.

In 2023, I married my best friend, and we made the big move to Brooklyn to pursue greater creative opportunities. The rest is yet to come.
