Bluefield, WV
I am a self-taught artist, intensely focused on the detail that makes every subject unique and ultimately brings it to life. I work in layered graphite, enjoying the range of expression the medium allows, and I also work in wood, acrylics, mixed media, and found items. I am captivated by remnants of history, vestiges of who we were, and I use them to illustrate the dichotomy between past and future, integrating the components to achieve a balance between the two. I enjoy sharing my work created with found and repurposed components to encourage others to see everyday items in a different way, and to highlight unseen value.
I am both inspired and grounded by nature and spend much of my time on streams, rivers, and lakes. I am a nationally ranked kayak angler, which has allowed me to combine two of my favorite activities--fishing and being outdoors. The remainder of my time is spent working with an arts organization dedicated to providing resources to both artists and the community.
