She has a BA from BYU and a Master's from CU Denver where she taught for several years. Her work can be seen at Kanon Collective in Denver's Santa Fe Arts District. Her mask was constructed by slowly melting lollipops with a butane torch. Once her candy sculpture was complete, she coated her mask with several layers of resin. She says her mask, "Dum Blonde" is a sweet way of looking at the world.
