Artist, Designer, Educator

​
I am an artist based in Ferndale, MI with a focus in a range of artistic mediums including printmaking, painting, graphic design, and fiber arts. I received my Bachelor's degree in printmaking from Kendall College of Art and Design in the spring of 2020. Since then, I have worked as an arts educator and freelance designer and screen printer.​I have worked on a variety of projects including logos, packaging design, and event posters. I also design and print work for my brand, Golden Hour Press. I sell hand printed items, stained glass, as well as a variety of other items on my Etsy, Golden Hour Press (link). 

 

I am very passionate about creating prints and painting, which you will find on the "Art" page of this website. Through split compositions, I fuse feminine figural imagery with colors and textures that evoke light and stillness. My pieces often depict the casual intimacy of shared moments between friends. I integrate the Benday dots of screen-printed graphics with hand-rendered details, creating a visual tension between the tactile reality of her subjects and the pixelated, digital aesthetic of a screen.

 

These layered works serve as fragmented snapshots of a personal history—both collected and constructed—exploring the idea of home as a place constantly defined by movement and distance. By blending shifting perspectives and contrasting imagery, I craft a body of work that invites viewers to reflect on memory, identity, and belonging.
