“What makes this life so heartbreaking and tragic is also what makes this life so beautiful and extraordinary. From a young age, I’ve been drawn to the oddities of life. What some may see as a roadside carcass, I see as inspiration, a moment to pause. Growing up in Georgia, I would observe my mother collecting road kill to take to a taxidermist. Our childhood home was filled with
these road kill taxidermy sculptures. These lifeless creatures instilled a respect and compassion for the discarded and forgotten. Connecting to my southern roots, and to the human experience, I create art that celebrates the cycle of life that exist within nature. 

My intention is to shine a light onto these beautiful moments that we all observed by showing these universal experiences. Through a collection of these unique childhood experiences, a passion for exploring work that symbolizes life and death and a connection to nature, blossomed.
Captivated by these complexities, I’ve worked across a variety of mediums to explore the creative process. I’ve investigated our haunting existence by embracing life’s weird beauty through light, color, and lines. Over 20 years of painting, I have developed a stippling painting technique that involves glass canvases, fluid acrylic enamel, and small beads of paint to create visual memorials. By using metallic colors such as gold and translucent paint, the artwork transforms as the light changes, creating multidimensional pieces of art. The glass also allows the light to move through the work, casting colorful shadows on the wall behind adding yet another layer and breaking the two dimensional boundary. This shows the dimensional nature of existence.

My objective is to poetically draw the connection between life, death, and nature. To show the beauty in the tragedy we all inevitable experience.”
