I am a painter working in North Carolina. I paint because I need to express the mundane and the magical, the strange and the sublime. All of our life experiences are seen by ourselves through the prism of our unique perspectives. I paint how life feels to me. My paintings reside at the intersection between the natural outdoor world and private interior spaces. Sometimes it makes sense to bring a bit of wild nature inside, other times I paint a forest as if it were a living room. I paint the spaces that I feel around me metaphorically as well as the spaces I want to be in.

I show my work regionally and nationally.
