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.

On-Demand is my new addiction...

Pebbles and Pathways I  is still a work in process as most things in this girl's life... here are my latest adjustments I've made all while enjoying a little Weeds, Veep, and Californication. I am not a huge fan of cable but I will admit I am a HBO and Showtime on-demand whore... and I love it. I use to paint to tunes and only tunes, but now I choose to paint and create to marathons of witty, dry, and sarcastic humor-my favorite kind of humor. 

Pebbles and Pathways I... finished photos TBA.


Well, back to painting... and season 4 of Nurse Jackie... 

Peace, love, and ART folks.
