Let’s Get to Know Each Other
I miss the days where we could meet up for a cup of coffee, but for now I thought we could just imagine we are and get to know each other virtually!

A bit about me.
I’m a Southern artist living in Durham, NC, with my husband and our cutie Golden Retriever, Rosie!
Right now I have an 18x24 in. panel on my easel that will be a coastal marsh scene when it’s finished. It’s part of my next collection that will be available this fall with Liza Pruitt!
Recently I’ve gotten into cooking, mostly thanks to Joanna Gaines’ Magnolia Table cookbooks. My favorite recipe so far is the Crème brûlée!
I find my painting inspiration IN God’s beauty all around us in nature, which you can tell from the photo app on my phone—it is full of photos from outdoor adventures (and Rosie)!

I started making art at a really young age. I was a pretty quiet kid, so painting suited me just fine, and I guess you could say that not much has changed!
I remember being so excited to have one of my paintings in elementary school in a show at our local arts guild, so I took a summer class there and completely loved it!
I continued creating and taking art classes throughout school. It seems like no matter what stage of life I’m in, I just can’t put down my paint brush, I keep coming back to it like an old friend. So in 2018 I decided to actually admit to myself that I am an artist. That same year I released my first collection of paintings, and I haven’t looked back since!
It is definitely not an easy journey, but I believe that this is the path I’m meant to take!
