Born in late February during a swirl of snow in Staunton, Virginia, the artist spent their childhood days with a crayon in one hand and a fly-swatter in the other. Whether coloring, concocting mixtures of dirt and flowers, swatting bugs, or befriending feral cats, their days were filled with creativity and adventure.
After years of watching clocks in mundane office jobs and dropping out of college twice, the artist finally earned a bachelor’s degree in Classics/Latin at the age of 38. Transitioning to a career in real estate, they found joy in making connections and being on the go, helping people find their perfect homes.
When the pandemic hit, the artist delved into art, watching tutorials and buying supplies reminiscent of their childhood. This sparked an obsession with mark-making and a quest for flow-state, with a particular affinity for charcoal on plain drawing paper. Before visual art, they poured their heart into writing on a blog, focusing on absurd personal memoirs and poems.
Currently residing in a magical house surrounded by oak trees in Staunton, VA, the artist dreams of moving to Calgary one day. In the meantime, prints of their artwork are available for purchase, perfect for adding a touch of creativity and whimsy to any home or office decor.
