Here, curiosity takes the reins.
Artist’s Statement
I’m a mixed media artist working primarily in acrylics and photo inks. My work lives at the intersection of image, texture, and narrative, blending painting with photography and design to create layered compositions that are bold, playful, and nostalgic.
My practice spans both public and private spaces, including murals, scenic backdrops, theatrical promotional materials, book covers, and large-scale installations. I’m drawn to work that exists beyond the studio, projects that engage viewers and become part of a shared environment.
Collaboration is central to my process. I regularly work with other artists and creatives, including nationally and internationally award-winning photographer Bill Woody, combining disciplines to expand the visual and conceptual range of each piece.
Before focusing fully on my art practice, I spent decades as a speech-language pathologist. That experience continues to inform my work, shaping an approach grounded in resilience, compassion, humor, and a sense of childlike curiosity.
About me
My artwork has been exhibited in galleries in Georgia and Ohio, including the High Country Art Gallery, the Blue Ridge Art Association, and Sugarcreek Photography Gallery. I’ve also created murals for organizations such as Project Chimps Wildlife Refuge and the Blue Ridge Community Theatre, as well as scenic and design work for theaters, arts institutions, and private design firms throughout the Southeast and Midwest.
I currently create new and commissioned work from my studio in Charleston, South Carolina. My practice includes both independent work and collaborative projects, and I’m always open to new ideas, partnerships, and opportunities to bring art into shared spaces.
