Artist Statement:
I'm a Richmond-born artist who primarily works with oil paints. I graduated from VCU with a degree in filmmaking and photography, but soon after graduation in 2017 I became obsessed with capturing light in a different medium. Almost unconsciously, I've made what feels like a natural transition from photography to oil painting, where I can still create compelling two-dimensional images, but now directly with my hands. I often work in the studio from photos I've taken; recently I've been combining my love of the outdoors with painting by working "en plein air" as well.
