At an early age her parents noticed her ability to draw and love of creating. At the age of 12 she received her first set of oil paints from her grandfather. She began taking oil painting lessons for two hours a week with a local master painter while exploring various painting and drawing techniques on her own at home. 

 

She attended Louisiana Tech University where she graduated with a degree in Interior Design. Her senior year at Louisiana Tech she was awarded the Hart Design Excellence award that allowed for study of art and architecture in Italy. It was at that point that her passion for painting was revived. She worked in the design industry as a kitchen and bath designer and continued to pursue her passion for painting in the evenings and weekends.

 

In 2015 she made a leap of faith to follow her true calling and use the talents that God has given her to paint and draw daily as a fulltime artist. Her work has been shown in National and International exhibitions as well as various publications. She is an award winning artist whose work is held by private collectors across the United States.
