My artistic journey began unexpectedly in college when a generous roommate loaned me a few oil paints and a less-than-perfect canvas. From that moment on, I was hooked, diving headfirst into the world of painting. While I delight in exploring various subjects and mediums, my heart truly sings when I'm capturing the charm and essence of animals with my vibrant and whimsical style.
Over the years, my paintings have found homes in exhibitions across Virginia and North Carolina, adorning both public spaces and private collections worldwide. Beyond traditional canvas, I also lend my brush to creating captivating signs and murals for a diverse range
of clients, relishing the challenge of large-scale projects.
But it's not just about creating art for me — it's about sharing the joy of creativity. That's why I offer painting parties for all ages.
These parties are a fun and unique way to celebrate a special event or milestone. These parties are not only a chance for guests to flex their artistic muscles but also an opportunity to nurture their confidence as they craft their own masterpieces.
Originally hailing from Virginia, I now call Southern Pines, North Carolina, home.
Nestled in my backyard studio, I continue to explore, create, and welcome new challenges with open arms.
