I was born in Kansas City in the eighties the younger of two children in the Turvey family. All through my childhood and up into high school I had a love of crafting in clay and painting. When I first entered college I quit making fine art and I had shifted my focus to writing. While attending Wichita State University in 2003, I rediscovered my love of art-making and decided to make the necessary changes to fully shift my education in that direction. I left home at the age of twenty-one and moved to Colorado in search of an atmosphere that would allow me to decompress and reevaluate my art. In 2010 I enrolled in a Bachelor of Fine Arts program at the University of Colorado, where I studied sculpture with a focus on steel fabrication and metal casting processes. Working with the artist Matt Toole (SCAD) I fabricated iron performance equipment for the 2012 and 2013 Performing Iron at the Iron Art Festival on Auraria campus. I have traveled to Highlands University, New Mexico to participated in the Iron Tribe Festival as well as participated in the Create Denver Week at Ironton in Denver. My art has been displayed at Pirate Gallery and I participated in Performance Art Week (PAW) IV at Emmanuel Gallery in Denver.
