Objective.

Creativity flows within me, and painting is my expression. My passion began at an early age, just like any other child, but blossomed throughout the years into a distinctive form of artwork I classify as contemporary realism. I paint from life or photographs to capture everyday objects at their greatest potential. You may see an old rusted, dusty typewriter. I see a beautiful patina, a palette of colors, and something unique and worthy. I hope that through my paintings you will see these everyday items as extraordinary. And that you too shall never look at them the same again.

Myself.

I was born in the Upstate of South Carolina. My birth place, home and journey of living in the South has shaped my artwork into what it is today. Graduating from Anderson University with a degree in Painting/Drawing and Graphic Design in 2006, I began my journey as a professional artist. That journey led me to Saint Louis, Missouri in 2011 with my husband's job. This led me to pursue Graduate school, currently pursuing my Master of Teaching in Art Education at Lindenwood University. Missouri has been a change of pace, a different type of scenery, and continues to influence my work due to historical landmarks particularly along Route 66. I look forward to capturing my ongoing journey for the world to experience and see.
