Artist Statement

As an artist, I am drawn to the vibrant interplay of color and emotion, bringing life to my canvases through acrylic and enamel. My work captures the soulful essence of equine portraits, the beauty of animals, and the timeless symbols of Louisiana. Each piece is deeply personal, inspired by the connections I form with my subjects and the stories they hold. Through my paintings, I invite viewers to step into a world of rich hues and heartfelt expression. My goal is for audiences to feel a spark of emotion—whether it’s the power of a horse’s gaze, the charm of an animal’s spirit, or the cultural pride woven into Louisiana’s iconic imagery. I hope my art offers a moment of escape, a chance to pause and get lost in the colors, textures, and meaning that resonate within each piece.
