She graduated with degrees in English and Fine Arts from Davis & Elkins College in 2016, and has been merging those two forms ever since. While interested in every kind of making, she spends most of her time drawing, making zines, and playing with fibers; she says that she loves making art that shares information, builds community, and helps all people realize their creative potential. Since starting her work as an artist she has become passionate about educating other artists, too, having taught zine- and quilt-making across Appalachia and now teaches classes in creative play online.
