About
This is probably no surprise, but I LOVE making artwork! For me, it feels like a problem solving exercise where you might not know what the result will be, but you keep solving smaller puzzles of light, shape, and color until it makes sense. My favorite part of this process is when everything begins to come together and I can finally see the finished artwork taking shape.
When I'm not painting, I love spending time with family and friends, playing pickleball, visiting beautiful churches, seeing bright orange sunsets, and hearing people laugh.
Recently, I began participating in local markets as a vendor and occasionally teach classes at local art centers, so you may see me around the Upstate!

Artist's Statement
My work includes acrylic paintings, charcoal drawings, and pyrography pieces inspired by the natural world. Over the last couple of years, I have been creating layered landscapes that interact with linear forms. For me, these layers serve as a metaphor for the unfolding of a divine plan. I have also been incorporating math equations or physical diagrams in my work to show the consistencies in a world that evolves over time. Ultimately, my art has become a way of getting to know the world and its Creator, allowing me to investigate the way a plan can remain present in a world defined by variability. My goal is to create work that captures this paradox and offers viewers a space for contemplation.
