I grew up in Oklahoma and Arizona and now live outside of New Haven, Connecticut. My work has been exhibited in solo exhibitions in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Paris, and has been featured in publications such as Cabinet, The Awl, Flaunt, jubilat, Meatpaper, and McSweeney's.

Over the past ten years I've drawn more that 1,200 species of animals for my ongoing project “All Species, All the Time.”
