I am an artist specializing in wire-wrapped natural stone jewelry and acrylic painting, crafting pieces that resonate with beauty, meaning, and joy. Through my work, I aim to enhance people's lives and happiness. My goal is to create art that sparks connection and evokes positive emotions. With each creation I strive to balance artistry and functionality, ensuring every piece offers an inspiring and fulfilling experience.
My training has included classes in college, local art groups, on-line learning and constant guidance from trusted artists and peers. I have had the honor of participating in many exhibits and shows in Mississippi, Florida and California over the past several years. My art has been in several shops and galleries. My work, in particular, my has been influence by many artists, however, the one I admire the most would be Georgia O'Keeffe.
Since relocating to the Mississippi Coast, I have had the pleasure of meeting and learning from the local art community and am a member of most local art associations.
