Welcome to my website!​ 

I am a self-taught artist originally from Southeastern OH. I earned my BFA in Design Communications/Business Administration from Belmont University in Nashville, TN in 2006, where I also worked as the Student Manager for an on-campus art gallery. I then spent 6 years in Jackson, WY,  just south of Yellowstone National Park, where I worked as a Graphic Designer and sold paintings in local galleries. I now reside in the beautiful Ozarks with my family and continue to work as a freelance artist & designer. My passion for the outdoors fuels my creativity & is a constant inspiration for my work! Besides the arts, I enjoy hiking, backpacking, camping, biking, nature, and traveling the world. So far my travels have taken me to the Netherlands, Ireland, Belgium, France, England, & Costa Rica, & Canada.

With a degree in Design Communications, I strive to bridge the gap between fine art and functional design. Whether I am painting a custom oil painting, designing a print layout, or consulting on an exterior space, my goal is to create visuals that communicate a clear story. I'd love to connect & collaborate to find a creative solution to whatever challenges or ideas you may have!
