Art is a language of connection—between people, animals, and the quiet spaces in between. My work explores those emotional bonds in-between.

Where do you find inspiration?With my horses. More than portraits or landscapes, each painting seeks to become a place—one where viewers recognize themselves, where animals become mirrors, and where love is felt without needing to be explained.
What would you do with $25,000?I would pay off the remaining balance from acquiring my bachelor's degree in art along with using the remaining amount of the $25,000 to open my dream art gallery in my rural western Kentucky county where I believe art isn't as accessible to students as much as other pathways. I want there to be a safe space for creating, expression and learning.
