I've been an artist since I could hold a crayon in my hand. I grew up loving animals and the outdoors and often portrayed my favorite animal, horses, in my drawings. As a military family we moved around a lot but one thing I always had was my art. In high school I won my first congressional art show and was featured in the local paper for my art. It lit a fire in my soul and when I graduated in 2008 I applied to the University of Louisville's studio art program. After 4 years of experimenting with different mediums like drawing, painting, ceramics, graphic design, glass blowing, and photography I transferred to the Art Institutes in Jacksonville, Florida for Graphic Design. After a stressful semester of Graphic Design courses I left the Institute. For years I believed I couldn't make it as an artist so I didn't even try. Then, a few years later, after spending some time living in London, UK,  I was inspired by the art scene and decided to try my hand at pet portraits. I brought this art form back with me to the U.S. and before I knew it I was getting requests! Now, I have found a purpose in helping pet owners memorialize their beloved pets and simply give all pet owners a beautiful piece of art. It is my goal to begin creating wildlife pieces in hopes of supporting conservation efforts across the globe. I am always growing as an individual and I can hope hope my art will continue to do the same.
