I’m a narcoleptic, non-binary goblin-artist and a professor at Columbus College of Art and Design. I use paint, collage, drawing, writing and digital art to explore memory and trauma. Fueled by coffee and fae glamor I tackle themes of transness, heartbreak, mental health, sexual assault, queer joy, and queer grief. My work is brightly colored with dark backgrounds, grungy, quick, and often made on-the-go or on a partner’s bedroom floor.
I am influenced by and align myself with neo-dadaism and found object art, surrealism, feminist and queer theoretical art movements. I am interested in trans activism, safe abortion access and police abolition.
My masters of Fine arts degrees in Multidisciplinary Fine Art is from Columbus College of Art and Design, and I received my Bachelors in Music with a focus in Vocal Performance from Wesleyan College in Macon Ga.
I have taught art history and social justice courses at Otterbein University and a variety of visual art courses at CCAD including Self Promotion for Illustrators for the illustration department, Illustration at college preview, and Digital Comics grade 7-9 with Creative Summer workshops. I have even, in all my femme-boy glory taught, painted along classes with 567 Gallery in Macon Ga and Purrs and Palettes at the cat cafe. They have even taught beginning music reading and voice classes.
I assistant lead community murals with Landgrant and Jenni’s Icecream’s “Strawberry Jam” and for CCAD’s suicide awareness walk “A Walk for Hope”. I have also volunteer facilitated Octopus Llc’s Non-binary Support Group and am a former bro-rista.
I live in Columbus Ohio with my cats, my polycule, their dogs and kids on either side of a duplex.
