Born and raised in small town Colorado, I found my love of art through my crafty and artistc grandmother. After high school, I explored the area of graphic design and advertising with dreams of big money. I realized that my art was more personal and I could not see myself using my abilities to help persuade consumers to purchase often unnecessary items at over inflated prices. Almost ten years after graduating high school, I found myself at Missouri State in search of a BFA in painting, a minor in art history and psychology. My goal is to procure a degree in art therapy and help others to find art as a free form of conscious and subconscious expression.
