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 Outer Edges of Reality : Abstract Expressionist Artists

Hi Everyone!!!

I am very excited to announce I will be showing at the High Road Gallery, in Worthington, Ohio. The opening reception will be held Sunday, Oct. 7th 2-4. I am in a group show with Abx Studio & Guests. For those of you who do not know Abx, they are a group of artists whose primary goal is to manifest emotions through abstract art forms, 2-D and 3-D. I am excited that I will also being showing with Michael Bush, a local Columbus, Ohio artist. Here is a Sneak Peak of what I will be showing. 
I also wanted to share a painting that I will be teaching to beginner painters with a company called Colors & Bottles. My spin on a Chevron Print. Enjoy. 

 
I hope you enjoyed these, I will have more posts soon!

Peace, Love & ART!
