Welcome,
    As an artist living and working at the beach in North Carolina, my artwork is highly influenced by the coastal landscape. This inspiration is shown in both the subject matter I depict, as well as the bright and vibrant colors I use to recreate these images. I am most influenced and inspired by the minor or craft arts including quilting, embroidery, stained glass, and mosaics. Specifically, the emphasis on pattern and intricate detail in these forms of art speaks to my aesthetic. 

    The majority of my artwork has an obvious tactile quality, which records my personal experience in making the piece. I am continuously trying to incorporate unusual materials into my work to create a fresh and unique approach to representing imagery. No matter the medium or subject matter, the constant in my process of creating art is an obsessive involvement and commitment to craft.

    I developed my unique technique with acrylic paints while studying at UNCW.
My process includes mixing acrylic paints and mediums in squeeze bottles, and then using these squeeze bottles as drawing implements to “sketch” my patterns and designs. Most of my canvases are made from reclaimed fabric, and I use recycled and found materials in my work to give the pieces additional texture and character.
