I am an impressionist painter from Rome, Georgia where endless miles of trails influence my work. I am determined to share the the beauty of creation through my oil paintings.  

My journey as a creative began as I observed the changing of light affecting the colors of nature while running at different times of day (or night). There’s nothing quite like witnessing a sunrise after experiencing the darkest hours before dawn, or racing the deep orange sunlight as it dances from tree to tree at dusk. What I find most fascinating lately are the  thousands colors cast by warm sunlight as it shines through flower petals.  I am committed to capturing true light and color, be it flower or trail, and I often paint en plein air for accuracy. My work continues to develop into my own unique style as I am primarily self taught.

Community is essential for creating. Each person, no matter what level of  skill, can learn from one another. Painting and running both allow me to stretch my abilities and connect with others on a meaningful  level as we celebrate learning, find new limits, and passionately pursue what we love to do.

My work is loved and collected by those in my community. I am a member of Oil Painters of America, American Impressionist Society, and the Booth Artist Guild. The more I create, the more I am compelled to share the beauty of our Creator. I will never forget hiking with a dear friend who apologized repeatedly for stopping at every overlook mesmerized by its splendor. I believe we should be stopped in our tracks in wonder of creation more often. I share my artwork so that others can see the beauty of The Creator in their surroundings, in others, and in themselves.
