About Me

BFA: Drawing & Printmaking, minor in Art History; Kent State University, 2015.

MA: Art History; University of Kentucky, 2019.

Thesis: “In Black and White: Richmond’s Monument Avenue Recontextualized through the Photographic Archive,” University of Kentucky, 2019.

Exhibition: “As The Light Passes By: Remediations of the Life of J.A. Stafford, Mountain Missionary,” Loyal Jones Appalachian Center, Berea College, March 9 – May 30, 2019.

Broadly speaking, I am interested in the history of printmaking and photography, and the relationship between visual culture and politics. Although I started off researching printmaking in Weimar-era Germany, my recent thesis concentrates on media coverage of the confederate monuments on Monument Avenue in Richmond, Virginia from 1890-1930.
