I am a multidisciplinary full time artist, most known for my grackle oil paintings on wood and 2024 Austin Public Library merch design. Recently, I am inspired by memories and sentimental experiences and create large drawings, textural mixed media panels and plaster cast sculpture. I received a BFA in painting from James Madison University. I have worked in my backyard studio since 2006 at my home, Grackle House, with my daughter, 5 silkie chickens, a rabbit, a dog and two fish.
