About the Artist

There she studied more intensively dance and technology expanding on her undergraduate degrees in both Dance and Media Arts and Design from James Madison University.

She threads her artistic interests in mixed media into performance based dance works that cross many different artistic disciplines. Collaboration with musicians, visual artists, videographers, interactive technology, and even environmental activists have helped bring these grand scale projects to life in unlikely settings, like botanical gardens, art galleries, swimming pools, shopping malls, storefront windows, and much more. Her work transcends the stage and allows more audience members to view her dance work, bringing dance directly to the people.
