My primary painting desire is to attempt to capture God’s creation with the depth of colors and variety of light that we can only appreciate If one stops to pause and enjoy our surroundings. Though my first love is to Paint en plein air, I also love to create in the studio as well. I feel that I will always be a student of the craft, with the desire to grow in technique and ability. I appreciate a loose approach to painting, which I believe only comes with practice, gained confidence, study and dedication.

I am formally trained in the field of architecture, with a bachelor of architecture from the University Of Tennessee.
