Bio:

I was born on a military base in Landstuhl, Germany.  Shortly after I was born, my family came to resettle in East Liverpool, OH.  I moved to Kent, OH in my third year of college at Kent State University.  I graduated with my BFA from KSU’s School of Fine and Professional Arts with a concentration in painting.  Earning an internship led to work as an artist assistant.  After moving around Northeast Ohio I settled in the Akron area with my son and have been an Apollonova member since 2007.  My work has been shown all over NEO.  I am currently scheduled to start my MA in Art Therapy and Counselling from Ursuline University.
