I’m a people person. A sucker for the marginalized, overlooked, and left out. I think that is why portrait painting is my true passion. I believe every person deserves to be truly seen. My desire is to paint portraits that tell a story. While this story may be told from my perspective based on what I see in the photo, I truly believe that every face captured has a beautiful story to tell. I have dabbled in landscapes, abstracts, and painted many large murals, but my true passion is portraiture. In both “Love Everywhere” and "Femininity,” I’ve been committed to choosing a variety of ages, races, and ethnicities. I’ve challenged myself with each piece to capture the individual person with love, detail, and individual attention, from the hues chosen to the techniques and mediums I use. Every fine facial line, every hair in every pigtail, and even in some, the reflection of the photographer in the eye of the person captured—truly seeing the person and capturing what makes them who they are is most important to me as an artist. I am currently entering my sophomore year at Savannah College of Art and Design. My major is Production Design, but at heart, I will always be a portrait artist and will continue to tell stories through my paintings as long as I am able.
