ABOUT THE WORKS
The Prologue Collection marks the moment I stepped out of the world of corporate finance law and back into myself. For years, I lived inside tight structures — deadlines, rules, expectations, city blocks, small apartments — and when I left, I had to figure out who I was without all of that. A world of grey boxes slowly became a world of color and freedom.
This body of work is about that rediscovery. It’s where color replaced the gray, where lines and shapes started to take on their own rhythm. It’s about finding my art style the same way I was finding my personality again—part structured, part free, part exploration, part truth.
At its core, Prologue is an opening chapter. It’s about shaking off rigidity, leaning into curiosity, and creating space for joy, instinct, and individuality to come forward. It’s also just the beginning.
The Whimsy Collection is where I let myself play. These pieces are experiments — moments where I try new techniques, new mediums, and just see what happens. For me, that’s part of the magic of art: the exploration, the expression, the not knowing until you do.
I know the art world loves to talk about “niching down,” but that’s not me. I don’t want to stay in one lane—I want to keep pushing, keep growing, keep surprising myself. Whimsy is my space for that freedom.
This collection is ever-evolving, a living sketchbook of curiosity and color and growth in real time.
The Western Collection was my chance to slow down and zoom in. Where some of my collections are about exploration in every direction, this one is about leaning into a single world and seeing how far I can stretch it. A world of my Southern roots and my uptown girl adulthood.
The imagery — boots, hats, cattle, open plains— gave me a framework to play with line, texture, and color. This collection is less about wandering and more about digging deep in the soil of my roots, the new ones and the old ones.
The Space in Between is a turning point — both for my art and for myself. This collection marks a rebrand, a new chapter but also a return to my authenticity: to color, to motion, to the raw, instinctive way I’ve always wanted to paint with organic shapes and blends of color. Each piece is built on immediacy — fast, fluid strokes, rich pigments layered with acrylics and oil sticks, and the unpredictable texture of raw canvas. Working on raw canvas requires a release of control, a submission to the blends and the bleeds and the serendipity of creation.
At its core, this body of work explores the transition point I’m at in my life. Most of these pieces were painted while I was losing my stepdad, who passed away on September 18, 2025. It’s about the quiet tension that lives between two states — between grief and what comes next, between endings and beginnings, between what’s lost and what’s possible, between who you are and who you want to be. In these pieces, everything feels suspended: colors meet and hesitate, strokes collide and dissolve, and something new starts to take shape.
Through this collection, I wanted to let go of perfection and control (which is not usually my strong suit, for those who know me). I wanted to create from the place where emotion and instinct moves faster than thought. The Space in Between is a reflection of change, of becoming, of trust, and of finding beauty in the moments that exist between one place and another.
