Natchez, MS · Boho & Painterly · 21 years active

“My studio is an old cotton warehouse loft in Natchez, with walls that still shed flakes of lime plaster. Restoring courthouse murals taught me to read faded color and to build tone slowly rather than force it. I paint my boho pieces in thin, scumbled layers of chalky white, rust and mossy sage, scratching patterns back through with a palette knife until the surface feels lived in.”
