I was born and bred in Virginia, with both Hatfield and McCoy blood running through my veins. Having graduated from Hollins University with a BA in Film and a minor in Studio Art, I found herself working in the Music industry. These three backgrounds heavily inform my work, as my paintings have a cinematic quality, and would not exist if not for the soundtracks playing while creating. I have exhibited work at Keystone Gallery, Santa Clarita City Hall Gallery, Idolwild Gallery, La Luz De Jesus, PauHaus, and Disney Animation Studios. I was an Artist in Residence at Chalk Hill in Healdsburg, CA, and count among my collectors Bravo’s own Andy Cohen and Maureen McCormick (Miss Marcia Brady herself.) When I am not painting, I enjoy the beach, drinking copious amounts of wine, hanging with my menagerie, and discovering rare old films on Tubi for inspiration.
