I am an American painter based in Evansville, Indiana. As someone living with bipolar disorder, my work represents an abstracted view of my emotions through sometimes dark, and at other times vibrant imagery. Painting is my way of finding stillness and I use my moods and emotions as the fuel for my intuitive and dynamic style. I do not plan the majority of my pieces; my paintings unfold as I let imagery naturally emerge on the surface. Most of my inspiration is drawn from within, but I'm also inspired by the natural world. Through painting, I feed my soul, liven my mood, and construct my own reality.

I became a full-time artist in 2016 and work from my studio in Evansville. I hold a bachelor’s degree from Murray State University.
