She received B.F.A. and M.L.A. degrees from Southern Methodist University, and a M.F.A. from Texas A&M University-Commerce, where she is currently an Adjunct Instructor. She has completed artist residencies at the International School of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture in Italy, the Vermont Studio Center, the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, and M. David and Co. She enjoys teaching workshops, curating, and jurying exhibitions.
