About me: I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
Art has always been an important part of my life. As a college student at Michigan State University, I took drawing and watercolor classes and displayed my artwork locally as I pursued my bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Humanities. As a law student, I continued to draw and paint as a form of creative release.
When I first began painting, I mostly used acrylic but watercolor quickly became my favorite medium for its clarity and spontaneity. I also frequently incorporate salt and oil pastels in my pieces to create texture, drama and vitality. Drawing from the influence of Georgia O’Keefe, I utilize bold colors and magnified subject matter to accentuate the beauty of everyday objects. I also find inspiration in the geometric patterns of African and Native American art in creating my more abstract pieces. With my photography, I try to capture images that pulsate with energy and mystery as I make my way through the urban landscape of the city.
Everyday, we are all surrounded by the most ordinary objects that have a beautiful sense of aliveness and I strive to capture that essence in my work.

Not everything you create will be a masterpiece, but you get out there and you TRY and sometimes it really happens. The other times you’re just stretching your soul.” …Dr. Maya Angelou
