About Me
About the Artist
I was born and raised in Lexington, Kentucky and graduated from Asbury University studying psychology and art. I have been drawing and painting ever since I could hold a paint brush and grew up with many generations of painters and creative minds in my family. When I am not painting, you can find me out in nature, hanging out with friends or doing other crafty things.
My Inspiration
Although my family has impacted much of the work I produce, the main source of my inspiration comes from the Lord. He inspires every piece of art and every mark that I make. This black and white painting of a Lily was made using ashes from post it notes of the Asbury University student body. It is a symbol of surrender to a God who brings beauty from ashes and who is the only one I paint for.
Subject of Work
It was the loss of my dog, Dudley, that inspired me to paint him and other household pets as a way to bring comfort to those who have experienced a loss of a dog or other animal. My specialty is custom animal portraits but I also enjoy doing custom building paintings and landscapes.
