Embrace the Circus

About Me

I am a circus artist, teacher, and model based in Portland, OR. With a lifelong dedication to the arts, I have studied and been involved in various art forms; focusing on aerial arts for the past five years, but in culinary and fine art before that.

At the core of who I am, I value beauty in combination with quality. These values have led me to various roads in life, but they all stem around providing people with art in the form of experiences.

Throughout my life, I have always been involved in the arts in some way. After graduating high school I attended PNCA, majoring in illustration. Now I use my eye as an artist to inform my shapes and movements, allowing me to create pieces that convey the emotions patrons hire me to evoke.

During my time studying Illustration I realized that I missed several of the interests I held earlier in life, mainly science and body movement(artists spend a lot of time at desks) after musing on how I could combine art, science, and physical activity I found my answer: cooking.

I dropped out of art school and earned an associates in hospitality management, giving me the tools to work in some of Portland’s acclaimed restaurants. During this time I started pole as a hobby, which led to being a full-time aerialist when long-term pandemic closures opened a new chapter in my life.

When I began my journey as a performance artist I started with pole and soon after began lyra(aerial hoop), contortion, and lollipop(combo lyra and pole). Eventually, I became a pole and flexibility teacher myself, and am able to share the art form I love with others. After it was pointed out to me that there was demand for my skills in the modeling world I opened myself up to bookings with photographers. Currently, I continue to train my established apparatuses, and am embarking on a journey to learn to stiltwalk.

Prior to moving to Portland, I lived with my family in Northeastern Ohio
