This originally was a concept for a commissioned piece but needed some changes. After a while, I decided the old sketch deserved to be fully realized. I love this completed piece, highlighting wonderful local flora and fauna.

Follow this artistAs a native of Southwest Louisiana, a love of art is in my blood. The area I grew up in is saturated with art of all kinds and I'm so fortunate to count myself among such skilled artists. I was born and raised in Lake Charles but have migrated north to the little town of DeQuincy, a more rural area that is home to all the amazing wildlife and flora I could ever want. I attended McNeese State University where I earned a Bachelor's degree in Art and studied drawing and printmaking primarily- but in the decade since I've shifted my focus to watercolor and found my true calling as a painter. I've fixated on many different subjects over recent years; pop culture and portraiture were my interest for a long time. Now, I'm inspired primarily by my surroundings and paint local flora and fauna, learning as I go. You can often find me tromping around the woods and finding mushrooms and critters to sketch and photograph for reference.
