For as long as I can remember, I have been obsessed with creating. Every holiday my parents would gift me new paper, fabric, pastels, paint - anything I could get my hands on. I spent hours exploring and developing my curiosity and creativity. I processed the world around me with my hands. 

This love of creating led me to Wake Forest University, where I earned a BA in Studio Art and graduated with honors.

Today, my paintings remain explorations of the world around me. I move through each day squinting at the light coming through leaves or noticing patterns in a shadow on the ground. I have found that as I have spent more and more time painting, the more colorful my life outside of painting has become. 

My work is guided by color, brushwork, and texture. I let the materiality of the paint lead the way. I love the process of building layer upon layer, creating movement that invites the viewer to linger.

In my current practice, I'm inspired by capturing everyday scenes or objects with a sense of awe. Through color and line, my paintings are my meditation on the world around me: renewing the familiar with delight and surprise.
