I grew up in the beautiful countryside of eastern Idaho in a small town called Rigby with roughly 3,000 people. I have two older, beautiful sisters. And the most astounding parents I could have ever asked for in this life. Growing up, my father (self taught artist) and I would venture an hour and a half to Jackson Hole, Wyoming every week or so, to hang up new paintings of his in a gallery. I have grown up as my father\'s shadow, observing galleries and taking in every bit of information I could about the art world. I always found myself stopping, and noticing how different paintings evoked my imagination. I graduated high school a year early and decided to move by myself to Boise, Idaho in 2010. I have since then recreated myself artistically and musically. The loss of a close family member in 2012 caused me to slip away and neglect my talents, but within the past year I have ignited that fire once again that I thought I had lost. This fire burns bright, and today I strive to inspire those around me.. Creation, discovery, knowledge, inspiration, and love are what I strive for every day.
