A native of Greer, I discovered my great-aunt’s ceramic studio and a family friend’s watercolor studio at an early age. In grammer school, my abstract art won first prize in the school fair, and my love for all art-related endeavors became a life-long interest. I pursued a degree in Fashion Merchandising and Internet Technology, enrolled in ceramic art and drawing classes, started a commercial mosaic business, and established my own stand-alone studio in 2007. Most recently, I returned to my lifelong passion for watercolor painting and combined my talents for painting with my commercial interests in illustration for licensing and selling designs, particularly art depicting people’s homes.
