Born and raised in St. Louis City. I have been making art since I could hold a crayon. But I never really made anything worth while until I was old enough to realize that none of it matters. I have a background in studio art, art history, and social work.

A paper tiger is a person or thing that appears threatening but is in fact ineffectual.

As I’ve grown as an artist I’ve realized that my paper tiger was believing that no one would ever consider my art good, but sometimes you have to close a door to open a window.
