Bio
| Résumé
I have memories of staying home sick as a child. My Mom would fix my
favorite things-- cooked hamburger meat with salt and green jello. To
keep me occupied, she'd buy me crafts that I could do in bed. I remember,
in particular, a piece of board that had small nails on it and I connected
the nails with thread to create a pattern.
I always enjoyed buying craft kits myself, too. There was a phase when
I was into making these monster models. Instead of cars or planes, they
were monsters and they glowed in the dark. This was a very short phase
in my craft career.

After graduating from the Art Institute in Chicago, I decided to learn
a trade that could earn me some money. I went to baking school and have
been baking, or elsewhere in the food industry, ever since. I recently
left a job at Fowler's Gourmet in Durham, North Carolina, for a residency
at the Kohler Arts and Industry Program. I am doing work inspired by my
grandmothers' kitchens as well as by my professional baking experience.
I have three months of artwork without the interuptions of other work.
I am very excited.
