I was born in North Carolina and spent most of my early life growing up in the rural town of Salisbury.
I graduated from Jesse C. Carson High School with Honors through the Fine Arts Academy Program in 2016. I earned an AFA from Rowan-Cabarrus Community College in 2018. I earned a BA from University of North Carolina at Asheville in the Fall of 2020, during covid-19. I currently work independently on fine arts drawing and both commercial and fine art photography in Asheville, NC. |
