Hoosier born and raised, I grew up in the Indiana countryside constantly sketching in my sketchbook from things I observed in nature to whimsical ideas from imagination. Art had always been a passion of mine since I was young becoming an outlet for self-expression and therapeutic form of escape. Growing older, I found myself enthralled by animation: the ability to breathe life into art through motion! On top of that, the creative diversity found throughout numerous talented artists found within the animation field. Since then I have been passionately pursuing my dream of becoming an artist in the industry.​
