I received my BA from Ohio University. I was lucky enough to dive into my studio art classes with some of the best artists around (OK, I may be a little biased but really; best artists, PERIOD). The faculty at OU thrived on making their mini artists question, critique, lose their mind, & question their art some more. Until they felt that they may truly die from lack of conceptual ideas, much less the manifestation of these ‘ideas’. I graduated in 2011, with a handful of paintings that were good enough to throw on a website. I’ve spent my time since college focusing less on conceptual ideas & more on the materials in hand. While discovering what my materials can do for me, I find myself never being able to fight the urge to add more color & texture. I’ve given up on fighting this urge and now embrace it. I continue to find new ways to manipulate the paint & manifest my ideas. I encourage you to take notice to the variation in color, value, texture & movement in my art. These paintings are simply abstractions of everyday life, feelings & concerns. They’re inspired by my surroundings & are focused far more on the materials than the message.

Projects Projects Projects

Hi Friends!

I have been so distracted from what my goal of this blog would be... so I am going to slowly load photos of upcoming projects. I have to be careful though, beucase many of these new projects are actually CHRISTMAS PRESENTS! Yep, it's that time of year... when I begin brainstorming the most useful and thoughtful DIY ideas for friends and family. I am a little late, but HEY... I have completed my TO-DO list for the projects! :) So, without further distraction... I am getting on the BALL, and making my gifts... starting TODAY. 
I have created an online portfolio/website you can check out if interested in purchasing any pieces or perusing my portfolio! 

Happy Sunday Folks!!! Season Finale of BOARDWALK EMPIRE tonight... so sad another season is over. 
Peace&love!
