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.

Quick paintings

I have been working on painting quickly lately-mainly due to lack of time... But here's  an example of what I've been working on. :)

Plum Run Winery on 2/11 with my Colors & Bottles Group!

I loved this group... they were truly willing to trust me and my suggestions. It could've been all the bottles of wine-but they really let loose, and that's how a successful painting is made! Please find me on Facebook to see more photos from last night's session at Plum Run Winery.
Peace, love, & ART
