BioI was born in Alabama back before smartphones and social media were a thing. I received my BFA in Painting and Sculpture from The University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, then moved to the west coast. I hung out in LA for a few years and painted every day while working some really fun jobs. Eventually, I came back to the south to earn my MFA in Studio Arts from Memphis College of Art. After grad school, I lived and worked in Florence, AL as an studio art professor at both the University of North Alabama and Northwest Shoals Community College for 15 years. Now, I have landed in Austin, TX, and am teaching Art Appreciation online. I'm looking forward to creating a lot of new work in my new studio at my home:)
