2024

Artist Statement


In 2024, I find myself at a crossroads of change and expansion in my artistic journey. My heart has always been tethered to Tennessee, a place that I proudly call my home, and it has been the wellspring of my creative inspiration. For me, Tennessee is a sanctuary of natural beauty, and I firmly believe it to be the finest canvas in the United States for painting the enchanting world of wildlife through the delicate medium of watercolors.

The lush landscapes, the diverse ecosystems, and the abundant wildlife of Tennessee have been my muse, nurturing my artistic spirit and guiding my hand in capturing nature's grace. The countless creatures that call this place home have woven their stories into my work.

Yet, as we journey through life, we sometimes find ourselves pulled in different directions. In the coming years, my time will be divided between the vibrant landscapes of Tennessee and the bustling city of Omaha. This transition presents a unique opportunity for me to explore new vistas, to be inspired by contrasting environments, and to enrich my art with diverse perspectives. While Tennessee will forever remain in my heart, Omaha will become a source of new inspiration, a place where my artistic horizons will expand and evolve.

As I navigate this juncture in my artistic path, I am excited to share with you the unfolding stories, the harmonious blend of colors, and the intricate details of the wildlife that reside both in my beloved Tennessee and in the vibrant landscapes of Omaha. My art will reflect the beauty of change, the essence of expansion, and the profound connection I hold with the natural world.

In 2024 and beyond, I invite you to join me on this artistic journey, as I paint the vivid tapestry of life in two distinct yet harmonious locales, each contributing its unique brushstroke to the canvas of my creative expression. Through my work, I aim to convey the splendor of these places, the grace of their inhabitants, and the ever-changing dance of nature that continues to inspire and captivate me.

Together, let us celebrate the art of adaptation and the beauty of embracing new horizons, for it is in these transitions that we truly discover the boundless potential of our creative souls.
