Lily & Bee Painting

I was Born in Roswell, New Mexico and raised in New Orleans and Ft. Worth, Texas. While studying Art History in college, I realized that I was no longer content to merely observe art, I needed to create it. Painting my connection to humanity and nature sparked my curiosity and allowed me to hyperfocus on a level I had never experienced before. Everyday life pulls my brain in a million different directions, but when I’m painting the nature I see in Colorado or Texas, I am completely present in that moment. When I paint, my greatest worries are about color, the process, proportion and the way the light hits a branch or the petal on a flower. I love how it feels to lay a line down a canvas or recreate a certain shade of a color.
