About the Artist

"I am very pleased that so many enjoy my art!"

I am a North Carolina artist. I've been painting and drawing as long as I can remember. I started working in oils around age 12. Some of my first artshows were in elementary school, and things just took off from there and directed me towards a career in art.

I decided to go to WCU in the mountains of NC where I received a B.F.A in fine arts. Since then I have exhibited my art and worked with other artists in my area. I worked primarily on commissioned pieces after college, but recently I have begun to work in a wider range of mediums, creating art because I can, and because I wish to share my ideas with others!

I have been exploring new ways of expression, and experimenting with new tecniques. Most of my art is very symbolic, and explores the darker side of human nature. I believe art should embody the feelings and social interactions that apply to our times and generations. My art focuses on Political issues, Religious beliefs, and Sexuality and it's place in society.
