I am a young artist currently living in Murray, Ky. Since 2015, I have been creating art in various forms. Painting is my main medium of expression. My art tends to be thoughtful and multilayered in meaning. Rather than focus on how realistic my art can be, I love to experiment with allegorical meanings by using colors and shapes, as well as symbolism, many with personal context. Much of the time my art also aims to express abstract concepts of thought like faith, love, or the process of healing. At times when I am led by the Spirit to, I will create personal paintings, which are pieces created with the purpose of ministering to the heart of the person that it is specifically meant for. Personal paintings usually vary in style to other pieces and push me outside of my normal creative process.

My ultimate goal as an artist is to be able to do what I love full-time without having to worry about going broke on art supplies, or working for a part-time gig that would take away from creating. With financial support from people who believe in me and see potential in what I do, this goal will be more attainable.
