I’m a surrealist artist and museum conservation technician currently based in Nashville, Tennessee. I recently graduated from the University of Virginia, where I studied Art History and Philosophy while also pursuing my art independently. My late grandmother was an artist and sign painter, and I grew up inspired by her whimsical style and blending of art with philosophy. Most of my current work focuses on blending figurative art with emotive colorscapes, and I’ve always been interested in investigating ideas of mortality and fate through painting. I recently started experimenting with digital design and drawing software, and I loved the opportunity to create for Ideal Creations as they develop their platform! Outside of art, I have a love for the outdoors and go scuba diving and hiking whenever I can. I’m always happy to chat about art and work with people to design custom pieces, so feel free to reach out over socials and connect!
