Why Cedarville?

It has been a longstanding desire to work at the intersection of art and faith. Joining Cedarville as a faculty member in studio art is an answer to that prayer. For me, art making is akin to breathing, and Christianity is my mother-tongue. It is a privilege to be able to serve in an institution that upholds individuals as image-bearers and creators in a context that seeks to integrate faith into every aspect of daily life.
