In late December 2022, my husband Dean and I traveled to the Georgia coast for a little time away from home. I brought along my idea for a short silent film, and together we created my first-ever movie.

​The music didn't come over to YouTube correctly, so it's very scratchy and yucky but sort of fits the mood. I will be working on this and hope to fix it soon.

In the meantime, feel free to mute or play your own music while viewing!

In "Oblivion," a man is haunted by his mortality. Dean did a fantastic job on this and I'm very proud of this piece. 

You may watch "Oblivion" here.

Up on the walls at Augusta & Co., Voices of Augusta will be on view through March 30, 2023. Please stop by when you are downtown, and mark your calendar for the opening reception! The party happens on First Friday, February 3, 2023 from 4-6pm. Hope to see you there!

I am thrilled to have been chosen as the January 2023 "Featured Artist" for the Greater Augusta Arts Council! Heather Rene Dunaway interviewed me for the Arts Council's website. Please click the link below to read it and learn a little bit about me and my artistic process!

​I am so excited to officially announce that my solo show, Voices of Augusta, will be on view from January 5 - March 30, 2023 at Augusta @ Co. on Broad Street in Downtown Augusta!

Huge thanks to the Greater Augusta Arts Council for offering me this amazing opportunity to share my portraits of local Augustans who have made their mark!

​When January arrived, bringing 2022 with it, I had no idea what lay before me as an artist. Local artist Christina Rice and I were co-jurors for the Inaugural Portrait Artist Exhibit at 600 Broad. We curated a show featuring the works of many talented artists. The reception was packed with art lovers. It was a magical night. Christina and I stepped aside and chatted a bit. The idea of a future art show fell into our conversation, and after the reception was done and I was on my way home, I felt that things were about to get crazy. Little did I know how crazy it would be.

Looking back, it is truly a blur. Over the course of the year so far, I have participated in 7 group art shows, one of which was the Project Happy Water Fundraiser in March. To have been asked by Leonard Porkchop Zimmerman to join him in donating a piece of art for this project was the highlight of my art career to date. I can never thank him enough for asking me to be a part of such an important event! 

So what does this have to do with Prince, Brenda Lee, and Hulk Hogan?

A lot. I've still got art shows on the calendar that are coming up rather quickly. The next big thing is Back to the 80s on Broad which will celebrate all of what made the 80s great. Prince will be a part of that show. That reception will happen on Friday, September 2 at 600 Broad in downtown Augusta. 

As for Brenda Lee and Hulk Hogan, the two pieces currently sharing time on my easel, they will be a part of my upcoming solo art show at Augusta & Co. I'm so thrilled to announce that the show Voices of Augusta will open on Friday, January 6, 2023 with a reception and festivities! The show will feature original interpretations of famous faces from Augusta. There will be 9 portraits in this show, ranging in size from 12x12 up to 24x48. I hope you will mark your calendar and keep an eye out for news as time marches closer.

Oh,  yeah, and there are even more shows coming up after that. Can I retire yet? HA!

Till next time...peace, love, and guitar strings!

Tonight was the first meeting of the Slaton Street Task Force. I am so honored to have been chosen by the Greater Augusta Arts Council to take part in this special project. The focus of this task force is to find a space in Augusta for artists, musicians, dancers, and theatre groups to practice their art. Stay tuned over the next several months for updates. 

In April of this year, I saw a juried call for art. It was a mysterious call with 6 separate prompts. I chose one of the prompts, painted a piece using the three words given, and submitted it by the deadline. Joyfully, the piece was accepted and will be on the wall for this art reception! Make plans to join me at 600 Broad on Friday, June 3 for Chaos Organized. The reception starts at 7 p.m. and is sure to be a phantasmagoric experience. Below is my accepted piece. I call it 8 of Memory. See if you can find the three prompts!
