Artist Statement
My painting process is a mixture of intimate planning and visceral spontaneity. I enjoy oil paints for their vibrant possibilities, sculptural qualities, and necessary call for patience..
My work explores the intersection of myth, nature, mysticism, and the female experience. I am fascinated by the many roles women take in folklore, and how archetypes can be a means of strength and survival. I am always learning and I find painting to be an ever-changing study of the narratives, people, and places around me.
Artist Bio
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 through the Consortium for Overseas Student Teaching. Though my passion for education has not diminished, I decided to pursue a painting career over a year ago-- first moving to a cabin in the mountains of North Carolina, and then to Atlanta, a city I am lucky to call home.
I work as a Teaching Artist at the High Museum of Art and an art teacher with local homeless populations at Drawchange, and I am inspired by my brilliant and imaginative students every day. I believe art matters deeply. I believe in an art classroom that is inclusive, accessible, welcoming, and interdisciplinary. I believe in creating meaningful art experiences for all children, regardless of ability or privilege.
Feel free to contact me to set up a studio visit, or if you are interested in organizing an art workshop for your business.
