I'm an artist based in Nashville, TN and passionate about creating paintings that capture the unique narratives behind the people, places, and things that are important to us.
​My journey as an artist began in earnest after my daughter was born with a rare genetic disorder (SynGAP1) that causes intellectual disability and other challenges. As I learned to navigate the ups and downs of parenting a child with special needs, painting became a therapeutic outlet that allowed me to work through my emotions. As I watch my daughter process the world so differently than her peers, I constantly reframe my own perspective, striving to see things through her unique lens. Seeing beauty where I didn't before is a gift that has greatly influenced my artwork and my approach to life. ​
My work is currently on exhibit in the Soundwaves Gallery at the Nashville Soccer Club's GEODIS Park, and my Nashville-themed pieces will be displayed at the Nashville airport in 2024. Additionally, my paintings are regularly featured in juried art shows throughout Nashville. As a member of the Chestnut Group, a plein air painting organization dedicated to land conservation and preservation, I'm committed to using my art to make a positive impact on the world. I'm also proud to have helped launch the inaugural Fearlessly and Wonderfully Created Fine Art Show to benefit Saddle Up!, a facility that provides therapeutic and recreational activities for children and youth with special needs in Franklin, TN.​
I love taking on special projects and commissions that allow me to connect with people and create something unique that reflects their personal story. If you're interested in working with me or have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Thank you for visiting my website!
