My paintings are portrayals of how I perceive the world; I am fortunate to be an artist and have the ability to capture moments, momentous and minuscule. A glorious lilypad scene to a perfectly laid tablescape, I hope my paintings evoke as much joy in the viewer as I feel creating.
My process is an amalgamation of dancing, loud music, spilled coffee, and thrown paint. Nothing is more satisfying than conveying a lemon with three colors, mixing the precise blue-green for a background, or manipulating a seamless brushstroke. This perfect union of an intellectual challenge and creative outlet has continued to motivate and inspire me.
Art and design have always been my greatest passions. Born and raised in Carrollton, Georgia, I grew up in beautiful spaces curated by my mother and grandmother. As a child creativity was encouraged and celebrated. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Art and a minor in Art History from Georgia Southern University, and now reside in Savannah, Georgia as a full-time artist.
