some things about me: i like to skateboard, draw, make music, bake, ride city bikes, go outside. i'm from st. louis, and i live in kansas city. i am 20 years old at the time of writing. i sell bread at @bread.plug on instagram. if you're local dm me for some bagels.

i am anticipating my sophomore year at kcai as an incoming member of the fiber department. my interests explore a wide spectrum of disciplines, but academically i am drawn to fiber for several qualities the form offers. this is not an artistic statement, but as this section functions like an about page, here is why i am drawn to it.

working with canvas, thread, etc, at a micro scale is for me very meditative--the form allows me to freehand complicated networks of lines, very loosely yet in a precise way. to me it is similar to drawing with lines, but if each line was straight, and 10x more time is spent making each mark. it allows me to think more about placement and interaction.

i have yet to explore much in the illustrative/image realm of fibers beyond black and white linework, and i am curious about technologically aided image creation as well as large scale image creation (thinking about a technique close to painting involving color blocking, creating shapes to inform contour vs. the other way around.)

i am a beginner, although i have sewn, woven, and made images before. i humbly step into a new journey, which i will try to carry out and document professionally.

hello, i am starting this website today.
