ARTIST'S STATEMENT

"Since an early age I have been drawing, painting, and sculpting.  I’m currently finishing my BFA at Clemson University.  I have shown works in many galleries and museums, and really enjoy the expression of the viewers and how my voice can visually be heard.  I have grown as an artist from being strict and photo-like, to more gestural and decisive lines within paintings and drawings.  I truly enjoy expressing life, beauty and moments in time.

"Artists that influence me are Jenny Saville, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Georgia O’Keeffe.  I respect the decisions these artist made when coming to color, tonality and conception."
