About the Artist

I grew up in rural Marydel, Maryland, the youngest of 4. As my siblings became teenagers, I was constantly surrounded by pop culture. All the movies, magazines, CD covers, and music videos opened up a world of creativity I didn't see in my community. I learned color theory, painting, and collaging at Delaware College of Art and Design. As an artist, I've always been drawn to black and white art and loved exploring the gray tones in between. My subjects are primarily people, as I find faces exciting and challenging.
