ABOUT
With Chinese brush, Chinese watercolor, ink, and watercolor paper, I humbly attempt to document the extraordinary beauty of creatures whose paths I cross. As a playful respite from arduous portraiture, I also paint abstracts inspired by my portrait's shapes and colors. Please join my private email list to follow along.

Biography
​
Born in 1988, I began life in the countryside near Cape Romain Wildlife Refuge. I was surrounded by the low country's bountiful wildlife and I loved to draw at an early age. It helped that I was homeschooled. I was able to complete my studies and focus on art and music. I began selling oil wildlife portraits in my teens.
​
My art career was almost derailed with the lure of a piano scholarship. After a year, I returned to the College of Charleston and earned my studio art degree in 2011. I have been a full time painter ever since.
​
I was introduced to INK & brush at the College of Charleston. INK immediately became my passion. Because INK was not the norm in Charleston at the time, I explored other mediums and surfaces. By 2016, I resolved to follow my passion and have made INK and Chinese watercolor my sole medium.
