I have been engaged in art from my earliest memories, using every brushstroke to capture the true essence of emotion. My work brings to life the natural beauty of South Carolina, reflecting moments in time that evoke deep connections and heartfelt responses. Throughout my life, I have painted consistently, but it was after surviving breast cancer that I began to create with renewed purpose and intensity. This journey has allowed me to express the joy of survival and appreciate the gifts that daily life offers.

I am fascinated by the interplay of form and color, how they come together to form their own unique world and balance of reality. Whether painting realistically or abstractly, I find endless inspiration in capturing the energy and essence of a moment. I also enjoy experimenting with strong lighting effects to enhance the atmosphere of each piece. My ultimate goal is to create paintings that forge an emotional connection, inviting viewers to experience and participate in the story each work tells.
