About
I am a Color Field painter living in Minneapolis. I am originally from Fargo, North Dakota and moved to Minneapolis to study art history and painting at the University of Minnesota. My work examines themes of biology and metacognition through process-based practices involving water surface tension and Jean Arp’s Dadaist concept of the laws of chance. I have shown my work at galleries and museums like The Soap Factory, the Fallout Arts Initiative, the North Suburban Center for the Arts, and the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
