Welcome to my website!​​ 

I am a self-taught artist originally from Southeastern Ohio. I earned my BFA in Design Communications and Business Administration from Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, in 2006, where I also served as the Student Manager for an on-campus art gallery.

​

After graduation, I spent six years in Jackson, Wyoming, just south of Yellowstone National Park, working as a graphic designer while also exhibiting and selling my paintings in local galleries. I now live in the beautiful Ozarks with my family, where I continue to work as a freelance artist and designer.

​

My deep connection to the outdoors is a constant source of inspiration for my work. When I’m not creating, I enjoy hiking, backpacking, camping, biking, traveling, and simply exploring the natural world. My travels have taken me throughout the United States and to the Netherlands, Ireland, Belgium, France, England, Costa Rica, and Canada—all of which have continued to shape my appreciation for nature, place, and the beauty of the world around us.​

​

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!
