I was born and raised in Idaho. In my twenties I floated around living in a couple of different places across the country. I found myself moving to and from Portland, OR frequently and ended up moving there in around 1998 again. Though I have no formal art education. I had been drawing and creating things since I was young and in '95 I started collecting a lot of images from print media. This branched off into many areas and by 2000 I was assembling paper into collages with various themes. I also did several pen and ink drawings during this time, but mostly created a flood of 24" x 36" collages over the 10 years I was in Portland.
I currently live in Idaho Falls and was able to show 15 of my works in a gallery in downtown Idaho Falls for my first exhibition.
