Always enjoying creativity and having an interest in artful expression, I started dabbling with oil painting in 2014. I’ve learned so much about confidence, risk-taking and trusting God during this journey. I love to paint and miles on the canvas contribute to my personal growth, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. 

Being drawn to beauty in nature, I try different techniques to create a soothing, yet exciting painting. Beginning with a textured canvas, I apply a solid stain. Next, I layer from large, loose shapes and brush strokes to more refined applications with each pass-through. In addition to brush strokes and knife work, I like to use stencils, brayers, cold wax and other tools within my work. I hope the viewer feels joy and exhilaration when  exploring my pieces!  

Over the past ten years I have studied under Nicholas Stewart at Holt School of Fine Art, Andy Braitman, Allison Chambers, and Dottie Leatherwood. Recently I attended an abstract workshop with Chris Groves and look forward to a second Provence, France, workshop with Allison Chambers in 2024. I have participated in art exhibits in Wilmington and Charlotte. 

As a Charlotte NC native, I graduated from South Mecklenburg High School and received my degree from UNC Chapel Hill. I married my wonderful husband John in 1994 and we have 3 amazing sons. In addition to painting, spending time with my husband and enjoying our second home in Wilmington NC, I love hot yoga, traveling, reading, and time with family and friends.
