Charleston, SC
I am a primarily self-taught artist currently living in Charleston, SC. Originally from Michigan, I have always been an “artist at heart,” drawing inspiration from living in Germany and Colorado, in bigger cities and smaller towns. I am currently working on larger, life-inspired paintings and prints.
I recently received an Associates Degree in graphic design and find myself drawn to the use of bold color, line work, and texture. My educational path has expanded my knowledge of media and computers in art, as well as sparked a renewed interest in getting back to basics. This creates art that is a well-rounded blend of classic styles used in a contemporary manner. I really love to see old techniques and processes used to create modern appeal.
I have participated in various festivals and events in Charleston, SC including Jail Break Arts Festival and the North Charleston Arts Festival. I have received honorable mentions for submissions to the latter in two consecutive years.
