Charleston, SC
I am a 20 year old artist attending the College of Charleston to study studio art and historic preservation. Although I am only just beginning my artistic career, I have always been drawn to art as an expression of individuality and voice, and I am enthralled by the uncanny ability of architecture and urban design to create identity and sense of place.
I spent my childhood surrounded by sheets of paper and cheap art supply kits, honing my skills and building the foundational knowledge needed to explore more complex ideas in my current practice. Today, I typically choose to work in oil paints, but I enjoy experimenting in new media and have found printmaking exciting and challenging. Oils allow me to manipulate color, breathing vibrance and life into my work. However, printmaking denies this aspect of my expression, forcing me to change my perspective and change my approach to capture a momentary feeling through gray-toned marks and values.
