Artist Statement & Bio

I grew up on my family’s farm in rural North Florida and earned my BFA from Florida State University, focusing on mixed media painting and photography. For more than a decade, I worked as an Exhibit Designer and later as Curator of Exhibits at the Museum of Florida History, all while continuing to create and exhibit my own artwork. After the birth of my daughter in 2010, I chose to stay home to raise her and to explore new directions in my creative practice.

My work has long centered on themes of family, relationships, and the complexities of human identity. We are not simple beings—constantly evolving, often resisting change, yet shaped by it all the same. In 2022, my family and I moved to Guatemala to experience life within a different culture and to explore Central America. That time profoundly deepened my understanding of “home.” The colors, textures, and vibrancy of Central America now weave through my work, merging with reflections on time, memory, and family to create a visual language that continues to evolve.
