I am a third generation artist and native Houstonian. I studied Studio Art and Art History at Baylor University, and Arts Administration at the University of Houston. I love bringing color and vibrancy to a world that sometimes may seem a little drab. My Encaustic paintings are comprised of many colors, textures, and other media that tell a story through abstract and nature imagery. Each painting starts with Encaustic Wax and as the painting progresses, layers of wax are built up and other media is incorporated. With many of my paintings you will find wax carvings, image transfers of my drawings and photographs, metallic powdered pigments, oil stick, pastels, graphite, fiber, metal leafing, and many other components. In addition to my original paintings, I also have prints, notecards, and tile coasters that feature my artwork.
