Lowcountry Watercolor and Acrylic Artist
I'm thrilled that my acrylic painting portraying an aerial view of Riverfront Park won the 2026 North Charleston Arts Fest Poster Design Competition! This winning piece is now part of the City of North Charleston's Public Art Collection on display at Park Circle Community Building.
From April 29 to May 30 this year, I enjoyed a solo exhibition at Park Circle Gallery. This latest body of work, Pluff Mud and Red Clay, explored rural South Carolina and its small towns as both a physical landscape and a remembered one. Through paintings and sketches, I focused on spaces that exist just beyond attention—quiet back roads, working land usually overlooked by Southern lifestyle magazines, a worn sense of home, and the structures and spaces shaped by use and time. At the kitchen table, the grit of the field meets the warmth of the home, a place for pause and sharing stories. On the farm, the passing of time is measured in the way a barn leans just a little further into the earth every season. Together, this work considered how rural spaces hold history without spectacle.
