Color and texture have been the main focus of my work since I began painting. At LSU I studied with professors who had been students of the great color theorist Josef Albers, namely Harvey Harris and Paul Dufour. They expanded my knowledge, understanding and use of color leading to a BFA in painting and drawing. During that time I also studied with abstract expressionist Milton Resnick at the Blossom Kent Summer Art Program. He encouraged me to tell my own story. At the Corcoran School of Art I studied with the late Leon Berkowicz, a Washington Color School painter. My year of living in Paris rekindled my connection to Pierre Bonnard whom I consider my greatest influence. Mary Vernon, Janine Nagy and David Hornung at Mississippi Art Colony and Laurel True at True Mosaic Studio in New Orleans are others from whom I have learned. My work can be found in private and commercial spaces through representation in Jo Fleming Contemporary, Trippe Gallery, and Ann Connelly Fine Art. I am a teaching artist for adults and children in a number of settings including Oxford Community Center, Academy Art Museum, Dorchester Center for the Arts and Chesapeake Multicultural Resource Center.
