| Biography | |
Having lived in East Tennessee all my life, I am no stranger to the natural beauty of the world. I have grown up next to mountains and lakes and am blessed to have had opportunities to go out and experience what nature has to offer. Whenever I venture into the local park, I always take my camera with me, in the hopes of capturing the perfect reference photo for a painting. While these photos are rarities, I am usually able to piece a painting together from several different photos. My creative process involves more than just looking at one of these photos and copying every detail I can see. In order for me to begin a painting, I must first have a reason to paint it. My reason may be as simple as just wanting to paint a subject, or it may be that I want to convey a particular message in a painting. My artworks are generally of the natural world, with a specific focus on flowers and birds. I choose to paint these two subjects most frequently because I feel that they, with their many color variations, habitats, and life cycles, represent the diversity of the planet better than any other living things.
