I grew up in East Tennessee at the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Most of my inspiration comes from the beauty of our mountains and my travels.
I studied fine art at Maryville College and graphic design at Pellissippi State Community College. My career evolved from graphic design to fine art, murals, and illustrations.
Oil is my favorite medium. I love texture so you’ll see many of my pieces with a palette knife technique. I’ll also use brush, it just depends on the subject and what mood I’m in.
I moved to Maryville, TN in the summer of 2017 from Sevierville. I opened my first art gallery/studio space in Downtown Maryville in 2022 till Summer of 2025. It was a great way to share my work with the community and get my name out there as I didn’t know many people in the area. The gallery definitely served it’s purpose as I have made so many new friends and connections during my time being open. After closing I’ve been busy with mural projects, illustrations and commission work.
Commission art is probably my most favorite thing to do. I enjoy creating unique and meaningful pieces for my clients. If you have a special place or subject you love and would like a piece made for your home or office, contact me.
