Biography
I’m a native New Yorker who grew up in the South. I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Wake Forest University, majoring in Studio Art and minoring in Mathematics and Art History. According to mathematicians, I enjoy the best of both worlds, but my fellow artists think I’m insane. I just like using both sides of my brain.
