About Me
I grew up in a beautiful mountain town in West Virginia and moved to the Raleigh, NC area in 2001. After graduating from NC State in 2005 I decided to stay in the area, as Raleigh was beginning to have its downtown renaissance.
I have been engaged in the arts since I was a child. When I was young on family vacations, my parents would buy me a new sketchbook and replenish my marker collection. I thought it was the best thing on Earth.
I still love to create. Whether it be cooking, painting, screen printing Christmas cards, or making jewelry, my hands are always busy.
