Growing up amidst the beauty of dense forests, expansive mountain hollers, and forgotten towns, my heart heart has slowly become intertwined with the natural wonders of the Blue Ridge Mountains & greater Appalachia.

I have a neurological dysfunction called aphantasia that impairs me from visualizing images inside my mind.  Most of my ideas come in the form of ephemeral senses of place or hazy shadows which have slowly pushed me towards my distinct monochromatic style. 

I like to weave together my love of folklore, the cosmos, and wildlife, creating a personal artistic mythology that taps into the ancient, otherworldly, and mysteriously magical vibes of Appalachia.

In the professional realm, I wear quite a few hats – illustrator, printmaker, event coordinator of the Tri-Cities Nocturnal Art Market, and curator + gallery owner of HollerHouse on historic State Street in downtown Bristol, VA.
