Art has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. For over 30 years, I’ve  worked in oil, watercolor, pastels, mosaics, and printmaking, creating everything from portraits and landscapes to murals and live paintings. No matter the medium, my focus is always on nature and the human experience and how they interconnect.

Nature and our connection to it are at the heart of my work. I’m fascinated by the way light filters through trees, the movement of water, and the quiet moments that make us feel at peace. My goal is to create art that brings that same sense of calm and wonder to others.

I earned my BFA from Florida State University while running a mural business, designing custom pieces for homes and businesses. My art has made its way into collections around the world, but what means the most to me is sharing creativity with others.

Teaching has become just as important as creating. I’ve volunteered in schools through Meet the Masters and now teach watercolor and oil painting to adults. There’s something incredibly rewarding about watching someone discover their own artistic voice.

Currently I’m focusing my art on watercolor and oil painting, creating work that brings people into the natural world.  I’m also working on creating my own paints and materials, and also growing plants to create pigments and inks.  Learning to create historically accurate paints that the masters used and techniques of the masters is so important to me.
