Lonesome Daughter is a Visual Artist, Singer/songwriter, Banjo player, and Certified Bicycle Technician living and working in Denver, Colorado. She received her BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 2010 with A major in Drawing, a minor in Fiber & Material Studies, and an emphasis in Critical Art Theory and Writing. She went on to receive her MFA in Studio Art from The University of Delaware in 2013. Working across a wide variety of mediums she uses storytelling and narrative to connect to her viewers through sharing her own lived experience. Lonesome’s work seeks to be vulnerable and exposed, often highlighting impactful moments of heartache and hardship to build a bridge to her audience. She aims to send the message that even in our most difficult moments, we are not alone. A sad song can be so sweet and soothes an aching soul. In a society that works hard to promote rugged individualism and isolation, nothing is more powerful than sharing stories and forging connections through community. Lonesome’s work comments on the complex nature of life through juxtapositions like light and shadow, and illustrating moments that show the simultaneity of beauty and horror. Some of her preferred mediums are drawing & painting, sewn sculpture,  crochet, songwriting, and vocal & banjo performance. Lonesome Daughter has exhibited artwork and performed both domestically and internationally ranging from locations like Seattle, Washington to Zagreb, Croatia.
