My work explores the intersection of texture, form, and contrast, blending ceramic test tiles with large-scale canvas compositions. Using a primarily neutral palette, I create a sense of calm and balance, allowing intentional pops of bright color to disrupt and energize the composition. The interplay between raw, organic surfaces and fluid, expressive marks reflects the tension between structure and spontaneity.

Ceramic test tiles, typically seen as experiments or studies, become integral components of my work—elevated beyond their utilitarian purpose to serve as tangible records of material exploration. On canvas, layers of paint, texture, and negative space invite viewers to engage with depth and movement, evoking both serenity and dynamism.

Through this process, I embrace imperfection, experimentation, and the unpredictable beauty that emerges when different materials and disciplines collide. My work is an ongoing dialogue between control and chance, tradition and abstraction, permanence and transformation.

I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Education and have extensive experience in graphic and web design. I’m currently based in Bentonville, Arkansas.
