Born in late February during a snowstorm at King’s Daughters Hospital in Staunton, Virginia, the artist spent their childhood days with a crayon in one hand and a fly-swatter in the other. Mixing dirt and flowers in a humorous concoction, stirring with a wooden spoon, and befriending feral cats filled their days. Despite a childhood scare with a monster ant nearly biting off their finger at age three, the artist found solace in creativity and nature.
After years of watching clocks in boring office jobs and dropping out of college twice, the artist finally earned a bachelor’s degree in Classics/Latin from UVA at 38. Transitioning to a career in real estate, they found joy in making connections and being on the go. When the pandemic struck, the artist turned to art as a way to decorate their guest room and discovered a newfound passion for mark-making and creating flow-state through painting and charcoal.
Before venturing into visual art, the artist poured their heart into writing personal memoirs and poems on a blog on Medium. Living in a magical house surrounded by oak trees in Staunton, VA, the artist spends most of their time in a cozy studio that was once a plant room. Dreaming of moving to Calgary and embracing a new lifestyle, the artist envisions befriending another cat named John Singer Sargent.
