A native of Alabama, I received a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing, was a critical care nurse, then entered the corporate world of pharmaceuticals before picking up a paintbrush for the first time in 2010 and I’ve been painting as a full time artist since 2014.

  I am drawn to the female figure and face and prefer to start my paintings with gestural drawings and large shapes, layered with thin layers of monochromatic oil washes. Most recently, I layer my paintings with lots of abstract texture, drama and color along with charcoal and oil pastels mixed among the layers. There is a connection when painting the face, and I love to capture the expression, emotion and personalities of the people in my paintings. 

You can find me in my studio working on two or three paintings at a time, bouncing between paintings to keep my perspective fresh!

More recently, I have been teaching color mixing as well as figure and portrait painting workshops and love assisting other artists discover and fine tune their creative voices!

 I am represented by Red Bird Gallery in Seaside, Florida and Peridot Home Interiors and Stonehenge Gallery in Montgomery, Alabama.
