I am a soon to be graduate of the Bachelor of Fine Arts program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. As it is, I am studying fine art with a concentration in Photography and Drawing. Having been at the Field Museum for a few years, I've found my inspiration and interests in the seemingly endless collections of the museum. My work consists of explorations and studies of the history and meanings of objects and specimens.
