About the Artist
A Southwestern PA native & Vassar College alum, I am a multidisciplinary artist and designer specializing in illustration, zines, and hand-lettering. My work explores femininity, community, and the occult with aesthetics influenced by 19 and 20th century illustration, psychedelia and my heritage of printers. An important part of my practice is as an educator, focusing on elevating youth voices and promoting civic engagement through zines, storytelling, and typography.
Additionally, I am proud to be affiliated with the Pittsburgh Zine Fair, the Notwhite Collective and my former workplaces, the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council, the Brashear Association and MGR Youth Empowerment.

“Working on the PCC handwashing station gave me the opportunity to design for large scale pieces, in comparison to my usual editorial or framing constraints, providing me with the experience I need to explore public artwork commissions.”
