Bio
​
My earliest memory of discovering my interest in art dates back to second grade during a parent-teacher conference. I was in trouble for being a distraction in class, spending more time drawing than completing my assignments. Amidst the concerns, my teacher, Ms. Robinson, made a suggestion that changed everything: she encouraged my parents to get me an art kit.
Years later, I was still that curious student, exploring Shakespeare and Georgia O’Keeffe, when a simple yearbook questionnaire planted a seed of purpose. It asked the usual questions for a 10-year-old: “What do you want to be when you grow up? What do you like to do for fun? What's your favorite subject?” While most might have written “astronaut” or “doctor,” my answer reflected a vision that still drives me: “Artist.”
Today, that vision thrives in Atlanta, Georgia. Though largely self-taught, my growth has been shaped by the guidance of seasoned artists and lessons from life itself. By playing with contrasts—color, texture, and negative space—I create bold, sophisticated work that reflects my passions and obsessions, bringing that childhood dream to life on every canvas.
Stylized | Representational
With the interplay between color and its absence, reality and surrealism, and the past and the present, I seek to capture originality itself. My work is deeply influenced by my study of art history. I strive to reinterpret traditional forms and themes, blending them with modern ideas to create art that bridges the past and present. Each piece serves as a dialogue with history; drawing on the techniques and aesthetics of past masters to inform contemporary expression.
