I am a mixed media abstract artist living in metro Atlanta and creating works through an unprompted, intuitive process. My paintings explore emotions and energy, creating space for reflection, presence, and personal interpretation.
Working without predetermined outcomes, my practice is guided by instinct, movement, and material response. Organic forms, layered mark-making, and shifts in color emerge through process. Across both conceptual abstractions and expressive florals, the work remains rooted in intuition and openness.
My practice is shaped by curiosity, experimentation, and an interest in how modern life intersects with feeling, memory, and meaning.
Artist Statement
My work is an exploration of energy, emotion, and the movement of color across space. I approach each piece intuitively, layering paint in a way that allows both deliberate structure and spontaneous expression to emerge. I am drawn to contrasts and I use these tensions to build depth and emotional resonance.
Painting, for me, is a balance between instinct and design. My background in brand storytelling teaches me to look for meaning, clarity, and intention, while my creative process invites openness and unpredictability.
Each piece begins as a feeling rather than a fixed idea, and I work until the composition feels right.
