I grew up close to nature in rural Mars Hill, North Carolina, and have had a lifelong love of science and art. I studied conservation biology and studio art at Warren Wilson College and graduated in 2013. After college I had an array of jobs working for botanical gardens and flower farms. My ideas are inspired by what I find through my outdoor work and exploring nature. I find joy in working with natural materials like clay and wood and using natural color schemes.
If you would like to buy my artwork, I have an Etsy account. I also sell at the North Asheville Tailgate Market and have artwork in the Laurel River Store in Hot Springs, the Asheville Emporium in downtown, and Honey and Hive in Weaverville. I enjoy working on specific commission projects and art that can be used as an environmental education tool. Feel free to send me a message with any commission ideas or questions!
