Artist Statement:
I am an art educator and an artist. Yes, that’s right, I can be both. I have a BFA in Painting from South Alabama and a Master’s in Art Education from South Alabama. I am a full time art teacher for grades 3rd-6th at St. Paul’s Episcopal School and I, also, moonlight as a part-time instructor in the College of Education and Professional Students at South Alabama. I enjoy working in a multitude of mediums, while oil painting is my number one love, I also experiment with ceramics, printmaking, and watercolor. I’ve found that teaching art has forced me in the best way to explore other mediums and embrace ‘mistakes’ in my own work; I am a firm believer in practicing what I preach. Much of my own work focuses on objects found in nature in which I juxtapose in various symmetrical compositions. I find influence from the stylized motifs found in Art Nouveau and Art Deco designs in which I incorporate with the natural elements.
