Bio

I grew up on a small farm in Hazel Green, Alabama, just a few minutes south of the Tennessee border. As a child, I spent my time drawing wildlife and farmhouse scenes from the surrounding countryside. After leaving college, I left my roots in search of new opportunities and followed my heart to Atlanta in 2011, where I eventually got married.

​

However, my early years in Atlanta were marked by hardship and heartbreak. My marriage was abusive and ended in divorce in 2016. Just two years later, I lost my father to cancer. Yet through the pain, I found myself falling in love with the city of Atlanta. After my divorce, I made the conscious choice to stay and build a life of my own in Atlanta.

​

That decision marked the beginning of my journey toward mental wealth. I worked with several therapists before finding the one who truly connected with me. During this healing process, I rediscovered my deep connection to art and also found a new passion in music. Together, these creative outlets became central to my recovery.

​

Today, I create two distinct types of work: abstract art and recycled art. My abstract work blends meditation and music, helping me channel emotions directly onto canvas through color and form. My recycled art is made from torn and tattered comic books that collectors often deem worthless. By repurposing these fragments, I try to breathe new life into forgotten stories and layer them with my own perspective.

​

In light of my more painful life experiences - from my divorce to the loss of both my father and grandfather - I have created my most recent series of paintings around the concept of grief and loss. Through it, I try to transform my pain into something beautiful, honoring the past while continuing to shape my future.
