ABOUT.

I’m an artist and psychotherapist based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Creativity has always been the through line in my life, shaping what I make, what I notice and what I find myself thinking and writing about.

I work primarily in mixed media, painting and collage, using layers of paint, paper, found materials, words and whatever else finds its way into the work. The process is intuitive and rarely begins with a clear destination. I’m drawn to contrast, texture and the marks and imperfections that emerge along the way. I’m almost always following something rather than directing it, letting the work become what it needs to be. It’s also just how I move through life, in the studio and outside of it.

Psychotherapy also informs how I see people and experience the world. I’m interested in complexity and nuance and the space where more than one thing can be true at the same time. I’m curious about what happens when we become less concerned with fixing ourselves and listen more closely to what feels alive and what might be asking for our attention.

The art, the writing, the way I live, it’s all one conversation.
