I grew up in Angier, North Carolina, in a close-knit family. Since I can remember, I’ve loved anything creative, whether it was drawing, art classes, crafts, or constantly rearranging my room.

I studied Marketing and Supply Chain Management at East Carolina University with a minor in Interior Design. Although I’ve always loved creating, I didn’t really start painting until after college, when I was looking for a creative outlet outside of work. What started as a hobby quickly became something I wanted to spend more and more time doing.

Most of my work is created in a little art house behind my grandparents’ home that was once my dad’s and his sister’s childhood playhouse. I’ve since made it my own and turned it into the studio where I continue to experiment, learn, and develop my style.

I now live in Raleigh and spend as many weekends as I can in Emerald Isle. The beach has always been one of my favorite places and continues to be a source of inspiration in my work.
