I was born and raised in Western North Carolina. Growing up near the mountains instilled an adventurous spirit in me that led to a love of creating. I learned that when creating I experienced a feeling of excitement and achievement through problem solving. I was hooked.
I currently reside in Fuquay-Varina, NC and focus on making paintings of people, animals, places, and objects that interest me. Adventures in the outdoors and traveling back roads still give me inspiration for my work as well.
As an elementary educator, I hope to pass the excitement of creating and problem solving on to my students, so that they too may become lifelong makers.
I currently paint in acrylic and digital format, and I can't wait to see where the process takes my work. I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I am.
