Just last week I was up late painting and ended up applying some of my bath salts to my painting ( I know -odd), but the texture it created was amazing. I take risks until I discover a technique I love so much and then I carry it over to the next piece of art I create. To me, and to all you other type B personalities, it’s a relief to know there will never be a time where there isn't something different to try, or new to learn. All that being said, I guess my favorites are the ones that continue to capture my heart long after they are owned by someone else, but still stay vivid in my mind. I think I know when I keep going back to look at a painting, and the more I stare at it the more I fall in love with it, and all at the same time, the more I notice about it, and it still remains complex and Interesting. All in all, its a great feeling.īut, to dig deeper into this question, honestly, it usually takes time for me to figure out my favorites. Not to mention the fact that I just get excited that the vision I had in my mind is complete in paint on canvas. Every painting I finish, somehow becomes my new favorite at the time, maybe because it’s just that, new. That is a difficult question to answer because It changes frequently. My sisters would play with dolls and I would paint. I feel like I have been painting ever since I could hold a brush. As crazy as it sounds, art is and has always just been that, a part of me. It has never been something I wanted to be, chose to be or dreamed of being, it’s just something that I always was. Thinking back, I don't really know if there was ever a time where I wasn't an artist. Why did you / or what made you decide to become an artist? I know, that last one still throws me for a loop! In between, I spend most of my weekends painting or participating in art shows.

I graduated from Lipscomb University and have worked at Refresh Home, an awesome design and decorating shop in Franklin, TN, The Art Attic, an art studio in historic downtown Franklin, and I currently work for Medelis, a clinical oncology research company in the heart of Nashville, TN.

While in college, my family moved to College Grove and lived on a farm with a pig and chickens.
