A bit about me:

I come from a multi-generational family of artists, which has heavily influenced my work. Growing up in New Orleans, a city overflowing with unique self-expression and creativity, I was drawn to pursuing my own artistic direction from an early age. Although many mediums have interested me, my current focus is graphite pencil portraiture.

Most would describe my style as photo-realism but my goal for each piece exceeds just copying a photo. My intent is to transform an image into something evocative and intimate. Whether drawing the joy of a couple on their wedding day, the warmth of an old loyal dog that passed, or the curiosity of a child, my work initiates a compelling connection back to those feelings, back to those moments.
