ABOUT Me
I grew up in the shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Southwest Virginia. Raised by artistic parents and grandparents and surrounded by the culture and craft of Appalachia, I learned from a young age to appreciate traditional handiwork passed down through generations.
Now as an artist myself, I hold true to these origins as I strive to honor the knowledge, skills, and creative ingenuity passed down to me. I also hope to be for others the kind of teacher that I have found in my loved ones, accompanying folks on a journey of contemplation, community, and creativity.
If you love my work, I have pieces available for purchase. But it's not just about that for me. Along with creating art of my own, my goal is to share tools and knowledge to empower you on your creative journey. I believe that every person is intrinsically creative. Through the things I create in the world, I hope to inspire you to lean into your own unique creative side.
My Mission
My mission is to create meaningful work that aids in spiritual contemplation and inspires connection. I aim to create and educate through a mix of traditional and contemporary techniques, channeling whimsy and un-learning perfectionism.
My Vision
I believe that art and creativity matter. They connect us with ourselves, our ancestors, and one another. In the midst of a highly individualistic society, I envision spaces in which we can tell our stories and form deeper, more meaningful connections through art.
