Creative Research
Social media has become an integral component of everyday life. My work serves as documentation of current internet culture and the political climate as it extends into the physical world. My primary objective is to promote caution when posting online and to encourage critical awareness of what is happening on the internet.
Having been born and raised in Idaho, I’m excited to be a part of the CMP department at Idaho State University. After getting my BA in Communications and a BFA in Fine Art, I went on to get my MFA in Studio Arts with an emphasis in digital arts. My work is centered around social media and the mental health issues it causes in some users. I teach Graphic Design and Typography and enjoy watching students find their artistic sides as they learn about visual communication.
