I am a Spartanburg based artist. My creative work includes painting, printmaking, sculpture, and songwriting. I am a self-taught artist with interests in many styles of expression. My work has been displayed in New York, San Francisco, Portland, Atlanta, Columbia, Charlotte, Asheville, Greenville, Pickens, and Spartanburg. I keep exploring various media to stay stimulated. I love the process of making images. My themes are usually, but are not limited to, loneliness, love, and how circumstance can be a determining factor to what someone’s social and financial status becomes.
