I am a self-taught artist born in Shiner, Texas, now based in Charlotte, North Carolina. I work across graphite, watercolor, charcoal, and acrylic to explore depth, texture, and emotion in every piece.
My favorite subjects are people and faces, serene landscapes, and the intricate patterns of plants. I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with nurseries, sports figures, musicians, real estate firms, and families nationwide—each project fueling my passion for bringing stories to life through art. Each piece begins with close observation and unfolds through layer upon layer of mark-making, inviting viewers to slow down and connect with the essence of my subjects.
Art can bridge worlds. I strive to create images that resonate, spark memories, and foster a sense of wonder in anyone who encounters them.
