Born 1974 in Chapel Hill, NC and raised in Charlottesville, VA. Medicine is an important part of my extended family history, and has consequently been a vivid resource in my work. I currently reside in Honeoye Falls, NY, where my most recent work combines disparate materials: old and new, traditional and unconventional, precious and non-precious.
