An artist since childhood, I began taking art classes in a backyard studio when I was eight years old. Starting with pencil, I learned all major media, including watercolor, pen and ink, pastels, acrylic and oil. After moving to Massachusetts at 12 years old, I continued to pursue my passion through classes at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, eventually leading to majoring in English and Art History at Wake Forest University and studying art and architecture in Paris for a summer. I like to tell stories, using animals and nostalgic objects to impart the joyful, reflective and transcendent moments in life. I also enjoy celebrating the fun and interesting aspects of my home city and state. I’ve created wall coverings for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Alabama and UAB’s Center for Psychiatric Medicine, and created a collaborative art piece for Children’s of Alabama hospital. My work is sold at Alabama Goods and Thank You Books.
