The first time I wanted to sell art, I was five years old, offering pictures I’d colored from a coloring book for 25 cents.

Creating has always been my passion. From coloring book pages, to handmade jewelry as a teenager, to custom-designed bodybuilding bikinis as an adult, I've always been drawn to making things by hand.

I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in Graphic Design and New Art Media, and a minor in Fine Art with an emphasis in painting and drawing from the University of North Dakota. After graduating, I worked as a Production Artist and then as a Graphic Designer at Flint Group in Fargo, North Dakota. During that time, I also launched my own business, EvoFit Suits by B, designing, sewing, and rhinestoning custom competition suits for bodybuilders. In 2020, I left Flint Group to focus on EvoFit Suits full-time. Creating suits was both fulfilling and demanding, and for several years, it was my primary creative outlet.

In 2024, I felt a creative part of me needed to be awakened again. For the first time in a decade, I picked up a paintbrush — and quickly realized that as much as I love making suits, my heart has always belonged to fine art. In April of 2025, I made the decision to close EvoFit Suits by B to devote my full energy to painting and creating art.

I'm so excited to share this next chapter of my creative journey with you.
