I am a self-trained
artist born and raised in Kentucky. Although professionally I am an
architect, my first love has always been painting. I received my Bachelors
of Architecture from the University of Kentucky in 1999, and then
worked for five years in the architectural field. During this time
my paintings were very architectural in composition and arrangement.
However, since my decision two years ago to leave the professional
world to stay at home with my children, my work has undergone an organic
transformation. Motherhood has made me more sensitive to the forms
found in nature and this in turn has influenced my paintings.
Although my work
is often inspired by objects or emotions, my paintings are largely
abstract. They are the result of a process rather than representation
of the tangible.
