2026 - Pushing Further
Kicking off this new year, exploring subject matter and environment. Continuing to create, capture, and share meaningful moments. Pushing beyond the studio, into the home environment and out into the nature of Georgia and Atlanta.
2025 - Meaningful Moments
Continued exploring the quiet, intimate moments that often go unnoticed—the gestures, glances, and exchanges that reveal our shared humanity. Through bold brushstrokes and rich hues, I seek to illuminate the beauty of vulnerability, inviting the viewer to pause, reflect, and connect. Started exploring incorporating Georgia’s natural beauty into the work.
2024 - Storytelling with Every Brushstroke
Through 2024, my commitment to storytelling deepened. I started drafting handwritten letters, offering collectors an intimate glimpse into the conversations, emotions, and connections that shaped each piece. This year was about bridging the gap between artist and viewer—not just through the work itself, but through the narratives that live alongside it.
2023 - A Year of Transformation & Focus
2023 was the year everything changed. A cancer diagnosis shifted my perspective, and painting became not just an artistic practice, but a necessity. I fully committed to working with live models, allowing their presence and our conversations to shape each piece. This was also a very prolific year—what had once been a hobbyist exploration of craft turned into a relentless dedication to the artform, producing more work than ever before. Titles became inspired by my conversations with the model, compositions became more narrative, and the canvas better communicated these intimate experiences.
2022 - Bigger, Bolder, and More Intentional
With a handful of oil paintings behind me, 2022 was about pushing scale, gesture, and brushwork. I started working larger, emphasizing movement and texture, allowing my strokes to be more visible and expressive. This was the beginning of developing my voice—where the figure became not just a subject, but a means of storytelling.
2021 - Discovering Oils
My earliest memories in life are with crayon in hand, scribbling on paper. Ever since, artistic expression has been a central theme in my life. Forever, I’ve bounced between mediums, but in 2021, I finally challenged myself to experiment with oils—and everything changed. I fell in love with the medium. I worked primarily from found imagery, referencing my friends’ photos on Instagram. These early pieces were an exploration in materials, technique, and texture. Though just a handful of paintings came from this year, they were the foundation for everything that followed.
