Born in late February during a snowstorm in Staunton, Virginia, this artist spent their childhood days with a crayon in one hand and a fly-swatter in the other. Mixing dirt, flowers, and other bits of nature in a humorous concoction, they stirred it all with a wooden spoon while swatting bugs and befriending feral cats. As an adult, they found themselves in boring office jobs after dropping out of college twice before finally earning a bachelor's degree in Classics/Latin at the age of 38.
After starting a career in real estate five years ago, the artist's passion for art was sparked during the pandemic when they needed pieces for their guest room. Watching YouTube tutorials and buying art supplies, they developed an obsession with art and a quest for the flow state, particularly enjoying working with charcoal on paper. Before turning to visual art, they wrote personal memoirs and poems on a blog on Medium.
Currently residing in a magical house surrounded by oak trees in Staunton, VA, the artist spends most of their time in a cozy studio, once a plant room, where they create their art. Dreaming of moving to Calgary one day, they envision wearing layers of wool and befriending another cat named John Singer Sargent. Prints of their artwork are available for purchase, perfect for adding a touch of creativity to home and office decor.
