I am a multi-faceted professional and acrylic artist whose work is informed by a diverse background in academia, law, and education. Currently serving in the military, I bring a disciplined yet creative perspective to my artistic practice.
My academic journey is marked by a rigorous pursuit of both logic and narrative, holding a double major in Mathematics and English from Lincoln Memorial University and a Master of Arts in Teaching from Tusculum University. Before my military service, I was an accomplished mathematics educator and researcher, as well as a legal professional who served as a Justice for the Tennessee Intercollegiate Supreme Court.
As a visual artist, my portfolio spans fine art and commercial applications. My work has been featured in several East Tennessee staples, including The Griffin Art Gallery, The Moon Coffee and Tea House, and the FADE Initiative. My commercial reach includes local murals and window paintings across the Tri-Cities, Tennessee area. Beyond the canvas, I am a Level 3 certified bridal seamstress, with six years of experience in technical garment construction and custom gown design.
Commission Status: Commissions are currently closed due to my service as an active duty Nuclear Surface Warfare Officer (SWO) in the United States Navy.
