a New Orleans native with a BFA in painting from the University of Mississippi. Now based in Durham, North Carolina, I work as an illustrator and graphic designer.

I'm passionate about symbolism and storytelling, using my art to explore human experiences and emotions. Inspired by my Southern roots, I weave together histories and perspectives to create meaning filled, visually rich narratives. I find inspiration in the stories of my loved ones, as well as the patterns, textures, and colors of the world around me.

When I’m not drawing, I’m usually walking with my dog, Mori, and taking pictures of the neighborhood flowers.
