Everybody has a story.

For me, Art and the creative process have always been weaving through my story since I was little - growing up in rural NC. It’s a part of me and a means of communication that crosses any language barrier. It provided healing and comfort in the depths of family tragedy, and inspirational reminders of our rich history here in the south.

I’ve always balanced the process of art, with other creative outlets in marketing, communications and business development. But turning 55 was a catalyst for me, my health and my sanity in this season. I came Back Home to my first love - My art - as a means to share the beauty in my every day with family.

I decided I needed: 
More time with a paint brush in my hand, and less time on a computer screen.
More flip flops and less heels.
More watching flowers grow and less time watching the news.
More savoring the sunrises and less worrying about the future.

My art is a process of plaster and palette knife. Full of texture and crackles, and metallic colors shimmering. Like cracks of paint on the fence posts along back roads leading home. Shimmers of a sunrise in the early morning Florida shores.

We all have creative outlets in our life and healing, and I hope that my art can bring significant reminders of family traditions and the peace of nature and home.

Welcome to the creative journey!
