Artist & Printmaker
I am an artist and illustrator that holds a special place in her heart for all creatives, art, coffee, and running. Yes, I actually like to run. I was on the state championship cross country team in high school and ran for Wake Forest University. I still run, though not competitively. I do it for the love. Just like I draw and create for the love of art and a message of hope and encouragement. And of course those things drive my love for coffee. Lots of coffee.
My process

- After I've exhausted sketching, I bring the sketches to life digitally in Adobe Illustrator.
- As I refine my art, I print often to see the actual artwork on paper. As I do this I make refinements until I am happy with what has evolved.
- Then the fun begins with the printing process! Some of my work I print on inkjet but others I screenprint by hand myself or create a monotype print
