Series Summary: 

My intent with the Molecular Series is to create tangible representations of the living energy that makes me, me. Each work is a visual meditation of how my body functions and reacts. The visual inspiration for the series comes from my Polish Heritage. From the intricate, colorful embroidery from the the tiny village of Zalipie.

Like the universe and beyond, our molecular structures are complex entities. The quote by Carl Sagan, “We are made of star-stuff,” struck me when I first heard it. The chemical elements that make us who we are, are the same elements that are found amongst the stars. By exploring that small part of the human molecular anatomy and giving it technicolor, abstract representation, I’m expressing the inner workings of my life. The styles, colors, movement are all celebrations of my living essence. My goal with this series is to acknowledge that I’m more than this life that I’m able to perceive in our three-dimensional realm.

Through this series, I’ve found creative honesty and colorful intuition. The paintings are vulnerable expressions of my being that reveal the vibrancy of my artistic molecular anatomy.

Bio: 

Being an artist is who I am to my core. I was born and raised in a small mountain valley town in Western North Carolina. My upbringing within our small community helped shape my imagination and create worlds from the mysterious workings of my mind.

I’ve been pursuing my career professionally since receiving my BFA from Appalachian State University in 2011.

I am currently working from my home studio.
