Born inNorth Carolina and raised in Pennsylvania, she grew up training to be a dancer and went on to dance with the Pennsylvania and Cleveland Ballet Companies.

Her work has also been included in the Armory Show, Art on Paper, the Dallas Art Fair, and the Contemporary Print Fair at the Baltimore Museum of Art. She has been awarded residencies at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts and in Assisi, Italy, and collaborated on two projects with Flatbed Press in Austin, Texas. Her films have been shown in film festivals such as the London International Motion PictureAwards and Frame x Frame in Houston.
