Growing up in Mississippi, I have always been drawn to the ocean, frequently visiting the stunning coastlines of the Gulf Coast. Water’s ever-changing nature captivates me, and my artistic journey is deeply influenced by seascape artists. My goal as an artist is to continuously create and evolve my work, expanding on my passion for the ocean while also exploring other regional landscapes.
I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) degree with an emphasis in painting at the University of Mississippi. Over the past few years, I've been honored with several awards and recently received an honorable mention in the University of Mississippi 2025 Student Art Exhibition. My dream is to one day live in a coastal community and own an art gallery. I aspire for my artwork to evoke emotion and convey the drama of the ocean, as well as the tranquility of forests and fields. I want viewers to feel a connection with the natural environment through my work, one that transcends the canvas.
