I am a South Carolina natve and hold an Associates of Science degree in nursing. Critical care nursing, art , and my pets are my passion. I have been seriously developing my skills as a visual artist since 2007. While growing up, most weekends would find me on a mountain trail or swimming in a  lake.  Being in the outdoors brings me such joy.  Naturalism is my primary focus. My artwork is highly influenced by the photography of Ansel Adams and paintings of Bob Ross. Soft pastels are my primary medium. Occasionally a particular subject will lead me to choose one medium over another. During the year, my paintings can be seen in various shows throughout South Carolina. I am a member of the Center Street Studio, Greenwood Arts Guild and Greenville Center For Creative Arts.
