About Me

Growing up in rural northeast Alabama gave me a strong connection to the land and to the farming community. I was given the freedom to wander and explore and to create by my family. Both my grandmother and mother were crafters, working in textiles, fiber art and woodcraft. I learned a lot by watching and helping them with their own projects and was encouraged to pursue my own outlets of creative expression. This led me to studies in drawing and painting in college.

I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts and my Master of Education from the University of Montevallo in Alabama. My work has been displayed in several cities in Alabama, including Guntersville, Huntsville and Birmingham. I am especially proud of an installation of wire sculptures hosted by the Birmingham Museum of Art. I was also privileged to be the featured artist for Sculpture Digest in July of 2018. I have exhibited my work with the Artists Incorporated Gallery in Leeds, Alabama since 2019. I currently teach studio art classes at Thompson High School in Alabaster.

And I am constantly making new things...
