Artist Statement
My process is a mixture of intimate planning and visceral spontaneity. I enjoy oil paint for its vibrant possibilities and sculptural qualities; I enjoy pen and ink for its immediacy and call-back to childhood drawing; I enjoy both for their necessary call for patience and total immersion in the tactile realm.
My work explores the intersection of ancestral legend, old folk songs, nature, mysticism, and personal experience.. I am fascinated by the many roles women take in folklore, and I examine how archetypes can be a means of strength. survival, and truth. I am always learning and I find creating to be an ever-changing study of the narratives, people, and places around me.
Artist Bio
Alongside my painting career, I work as an art educator. Since receiving my BFA in Art Education from the University of Georgia in 2012, I have worked in art education in Georgia, Colorado, and Ireland. Originally from Atlanta, I currently live in Nashville, TN, where I use visual art to teach about country music history.
I believe art matters deeply. I believe in an art classroom that creates inclusive, accessible, welcoming, and interdisciplinary experiences for all, regardless of ability or privilege.
Feel free to contact me if you are interested in coordinating an art workshop for your business or organization.
