Guntown, MS
I was born in Florida and raised in Tennessee. I currently reside in the Tupelo, Mississippi area where I have been working professionally as a graphic designer in the advertising business since 2012. I have always been a creative person. When I am not doing graphic design, I enjoy drawing black and white portraits of people and pets on commission.
In recent years, I have been working on refining my own method for creating dynamic, layered resin art using pattern design, weatherproof paper, acrylic paint, and art resin. I have only just begun to explore the creative potential that lies within this technique. I intend to test the limits of its possibilities by experimenting more with geometry, depth, other mediums, custom frameworks, color, and by creating many, many more of these pieces. The aesthetic that it produces drives me to design more of it.
