Artistic Expression With a Purpose!
My art journey began on a desperate day in July 2020 because of a suggestion from my chemo infusion nurse to find a hobby. The idea was to channel my energy into art as a way to keep me from spiraling into depression because of all the negativity that was building in me from the chaotic times I was facing. That suggestion has led me to a passion for creating eclectic styles of free flowing, vibrant forms of art using acrylic paint techniques on a wide variety of substrates. Many of the embellishments are recycled objects that are reused in a beautiful and interesting piece of art. My hope is that the purchaser will be blessed when viewing the piece in their home knowing that 20% of the proceeds go to helping others in Laurel and Hattiesburg, MS while keeping many objects out of the landfill.
Some of the pieces that I have created have been donated and hang in places such as the infusion room of the Hattiesburg Clinic Cancer Center and provide patients with a beautiful pieces to observe while getting their treatment. It is a piece that promotes Live in Laurel, a free concert series held both Spring and Fall in the Art Park. Every other week the winners of Trivia Night held at 320 5th Avenue (a business established during the beginning of the Covid-19), receive mini paintings on smaller tiles to name a few places that are important to their respective community.
