Artist Bio
I fell in love with painting during my time at Eastern Illinois University where I studied studio art with talented and inspiring professors.
My painting process is fairly intuitive and usually lands in the natural world, grounding itself in my experiences in nature - on hikes, walks around WNC.
Artist Statement
I am inspired by the beauty and complexity of our worlds, both the outside natural world and the inner mindbody. My creative process begins intuitively, working with colors and energies that I feel and often my paintings will morph into a mountain scape with cosmic elements woven into it. I draw upon my memory of hikes in the Blue Ridge mountains, drives along the Blue Ridge Parkway and my inner emotional landscape to guide me in creating.
My intention is for my pieces to leave you feeling expansive, inspired and tuned in to your own creativity.
