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.

Hi Everyone!!!

I just wanted to announce that I have reached 500 views on my blog. I realize to big time bloggers, that's just chump-change, BUT to me it's great news, and feels like a million bucks! I am so happy to be blessed with family and friends that are supportive and take the time to check my blog regularly. I also, want to thank the new-comers, and passerby's for giving my blog a chance. I hope in the future I can continue to spread the love, art, and inspiration that I am feeling. Thank you again EVERYONE, for giving me a chance and, more importantly, your time.
