Born and raised in South Carolina, my Southern roots influence my artwork and my speech, just ask me to say ‘oil’. Now living in St. Louis, Missouri, I am tapping into all my experiences to create artwork that shows the beauty that is always around us through my drawings, paintings & photography!
A LITTLE MORE…

I began creating art at a young age, pursuing degrees in Painting/Drawing and Graphic Design, followed by a Masters in Teaching. My experiences shaped a contemporary realism style evident in my paintings and drawings. I work with an array of medias including oils, watercolors, graphite, colored pencils, markers and ink, often combining their effects. This love of media allows me to choose which one will best showcase my love for contrast and color theory. My subjects aim to highlight the beauty in objects or scenes, whether it's the intimate detail of a camera or flower, or a sweeping landscape. My goal is to capture these unique moments and preserve them in my artwork, to share the beauty of the world with you!

My art is deeply inspired by a profound love for places and nature, fueling my exploration and creativity. I am dedicated to capturing life's moments, showcasing diverse perspectives, vibrant colors, and thoughtful compositions in every piece. My objective is to evoke emotions and experiences, transforming ordinary moments into art that ignites inspiration and wistfulness. Whether through an intricate object or an expansive landscape, my work embodies the profound connection between creativity and the beauty of the world around us.
