In fifth grade, I painted a picture of two horses drinking water from a puddle in the woods. At that time, I thought it was the most beautiful painting I had ever seen or created. After creating that painting, I received an epiphany. I was going to be an artist. I no longer liked art. I had fallen in love with art. Art soon became my favorite subject in school. Today art is the subject of my life.
Once I found my passion for art, it was not until I attended Lander University where I discovered a passion for painting. Lips became a theme that I developed and incorporated in my paintings. I have a fe**sh for lip gloss and I am infatuated with the ability to decorate lips with various applications. Lips are also significant in relationships, cultures, and everyday life. In less than two weeks,after graduating from Lander University, I attended Coastal Carolina University. I received a Masters in the Art of Teaching (M.A.T.). Upon graduating from CCU, I moved to Georgia and began my teaching career. I am passionate with the artistic process and the product it creates which is art. I constantly explore new ideas to implement in my artwork. All of my paintings are a reflection of me. I like to think of myself as being a well-rounded artist. I have no limitations to styles, themes, techniques, or subject matter. I am simply an artist.
