Welcome, and thank you for visiting!

I’m so glad you’re here, and I’d love to share a little about myself and the journey that has led me to where I am today.

I’m a Southern girl from Georgia, and I’m deeply connected to the landscape that surrounds me. I am the mother of two incredible children: Liv, a talented influencer on TikTok, and Jack, a college student dedicated to pursuing a career in the medical field. My family also includes my two loyal dogs, Zoe and Georgie, who keep me company as I work from my home studio.

The beauty of Georgia’s natural surroundings has always been a source of inspiration for me. The lush green forests, the vast farms, and the tranquil fields of rural Georgia are woven into my artistic vision. Gardening, too, has long been a passion of mine—there’s something profoundly inspiring about watching flowers grow and bloom, much like the creative ideas that evolve on my canvas.

Our recent move back to Georgia from Charleston, South Carolina, has brought even more depth to my artistic perspective. Living near the Wando River, surrounded by the peaceful marshes, gave me a unique connection to nature. The water’s ever-changing colors, the shifting tides, and the raw beauty of the coastal landscape filled me with inspiration every single day. It’s a place that will always hold a special place in my heart, and I hope to return to that coastal beauty one day.

My artistic journey began in the world of graphic design. After working at an award-winning design studio in Atlanta, I launched my own graphic design company and had the privilege of collaborating with a variety of successful businesses. But while the work was rewarding, I always felt a pull toward something deeper, something more personal. There was a yearning to create, not just for clients, but for my own soul—to express emotions, stories, and experiences that words couldn’t fully capture.

That yearning ultimately led me to painting. It was a decision that felt both natural and transformative. As I picked up the paintbrush and began to express myself through color, texture, and form, I realized that my true purpose was to share my vision with others in a way that words never could. My art became a space where I could pour my emotions, my experiences, and my love for the world around me.

Every piece I create is a journey of its own—one that begins with a spark of inspiration and evolves as I work with the medium. I seek to evoke emotion through my work, to create pieces that not only capture a moment but also stir something deep within the viewer. My hope is that my art resonates with you in a meaningful way, that it brings you joy, peace, or perhaps even reflection.

This is more than just a career to me—it’s my life’s work. Every brushstroke is a part of my heart, and I am so honored to share this personal journey with you. The path is still unfolding, and I invite you to follow along as my art continues to evolve.

I would love to hear from you. If you have any questions or just want to connect, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
