Atlanta-based acrylic painter

​

 I was born with a connective tissue disorder called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome that requires me to get creative in how I navigate reality. My paintings are experiments in energy flow, from mind to body to canvas to all.

 

Art is play—an exercise in articulation.

​

​

My art has no intended direction. Each canvas is rotated frequently and elements often hold different messages depending on orientation. 

​

A lot of my work is finger-painted. Brushes and tools help me out with details but I love getting as close to my pieces as I can. I've always had severe sensory difficulties and finger painting is a tactile challenge that yields honest, personal, beautiful results.
