About Me

I'm a recent graduate of the University of Tennessee, with a BFA in art. I'm working on my portfolio for graduate school, and these are my projects from undergrad. I'm more a conceptualist than an aesthetician- My artwork is less about image, and more about object. I'm leaning towards minimalism and formalism right now, addressing the basic language of visual communication, like line, plane, color and shading, 2d and 3d. But I've addressed everything from humorous 'what if' animal situations to pottery in my journey as an artist. I hope some of these pieces make you laugh, and some of them make you think, but I really worked really hard on them all!

Dove Chocolate Square




This is a canvas covered in Dove Milk Chocolate Candy wrappers (lettering cut out). I'd been saving them for years. This piece is 18x24" and took over 60 hours and entire tube of Elmer's glue to attach all the little pieces of foil!
I love mechanical process and using unconventional materials to negate the time I spend creating a piece- to start a conversation about the value of abstract art.
This piece actually is much more deep royal blue/violet, with a delicate glow in even low light. Completely impossible to photograph.

    Well that's quite creative. It sure is pretty. I bet the texture is amazing in person.
