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.

The Important Things in Life.

Bonjour!

I took a couple days off from creating... and although I told myself I would dive right into my new series, and not take a break until I was satisfied. THIS break was worth it!

My Niece and Nephew enjoying some time at the apt. pool.




I got to spend a couple days with these two wild childs at the pool. 1 sunburn, an inner-tube casualty, and 14 noodle fights later this girl was worn out. 

Will be painting later today... more photos to come! :)

Peace and Love my friends!
