I’m a Pittsburgh-based artist whose practice centers on using carseat headrests as a painting surface. In 2023, I began sourcing them from scrapyards and eBay. What started as an experiment gradually developed into an ongoing body of work that explores painting and its relationship to humanity.
In 2021, I was an Astra Zarina Early Career Fellow through The Civita Institute – Northwest Institute for Architecture & Urban Studies in Italy (NIAUSI), where I lived and worked in the historic town of Civita di Bagnoregio. My work has also received recognition from Petrichor, Architect Magazine, and I Like Your Work podcast.
Through the years I have exhibited nationally with galleries and museums such as The Butler Institute of American Art, Kelly Strayhorn Theater, Brew House Arts, McDonough Museum of Art, Kent State University Galleries, Ketchup City Creative, The Maple Leaf, Troppus Projects, and Skypomp.
