I am an artist who paints impressionistic landscapes of the Southeast. My original works are focused mainly on composition and color – using water-based paint such as acrylic, tempera and watercolor. Sizes of paintings typically range from small (12” x 12”) to large (36” x 60”).

I was born and grew up in Tallahassee, Florida. As a child I explored the nearby fields and woods. I would often go to the neighboring beaches, where there was always something interesting to find – from barrier island surf to quiet swampy bays. I also spent time in the Western North Carolina – experiencing new smells and forms such as wildflowers, springs, rocky landscapes and snow. My love of the outdoors inspires much of my work, gathered from backyard, local and regional travel. The North Florida area, Georgia and North Carolina are generally where most of my locations (such as lakes, ponds, rivers, streams, parks, coastal communities, mountains, farms, old fields and roads) are derived. Most of my paintings will contain some form of water, where I like to manipulate reflections – that I feel add a provocative energy or movement to the scene.

I began painting landscapes as a hobby in the early 1990’s. I began to offer my art for sale to the public in 2008. I obtained a Master’s degree in Landscape Architecture from FAMU in 2000. I am currently a self-employed design professional, practicing Landscape Architecture and Arborist consultation… and painting landscapes.
