About

Let me introduce myself.

I am a visual arts teacher determined to make a positive impact in my community.

Profile

I'm a local artist in coastal North Carolina who dabbles in painting and education. When I'm not making art you're most likely to find me geeking out over comic books, video games, or sci-fi and fantasy.

Resume

More of my credentials.

I love unraveling the unique motivators of children as they progress through their educational journey. Using the art of play and playful use of art, I strive to foster a trend of life-long learning amongst my students.

Portfolio

Check Out Some of My Works.

My work focuses primarily on the silly antics of animals coupled with pet portraiture. Occasionally I create fan art of my favorite books or cartoons. Murals are my favorite; I love transforming a space with a large scale painting.
