MORE FROM CHARLOTTE
HEAR FROM THE ARTIST, HERSELF!
From my earliest recollections, art has been my constant companion. What began as childhood interests in drawing and painting evolved into a lifelong passion. My natural talent was acknowledged early on by peers and mentors, propelling me to refine my abilities and seek advanced art classes throughout my schooling.
As I delved deeper into the world of art, I found myself fascinated by its rich history and extensive reach across cultures. This curiosity and my artistic aptitude culminated in a clear decision: pursuing an art degree in college. Throughout my studies at the University of Texas, I broadened my repertoire, experimenting with a wide range of genres like drawing, painting, photography, and print-making. Here I, explored the allure of photography, a medium I learned to interweave with my other works, adding depth and continuity. The importance of underlying meanings and narratives in art, inspiring me to develop a unique artistic voice and dig deeper.
I feel utterly blessed that my childhood avocation has blossomed into a professional art career. From commission pieces for family and friends to selling my artwork worldwide via SAATCHI, I've been able to expand my client base and showcase my work. I'm proud of the quality and meaningful narrative inherent in each piece, qualities that give me the confidence to participate in art shows.
