I was born in the heart of the Ozarks, in Fayetteville, Arkansas. I grew up going to the river on the weekends and spending summer nights catching fireflies till I was covered in chigger bites and ticks.
I pull inspiration from the Ozark wilderness into my art, seeking truth and beauty in the world around me. I primarily work in clay, enjoying the deep history and connection to the earth innate to the medium, but I also venture into the mediums of paint, photography, and quilting. Through my work I want to share the experience of growing up in an area that has breathtaking wilderness and values it deeply.
