My work is inspired by Western North Carolina, and things I love. I’ve been an oil painter for 16 years, primarily portraiture and WNC landscape scenery. I create lots of different art, including wearable miniature oil paintings.

Twenty percent of each sale will be donated to local charities working to protect Western North Carolina. Currently our funding will be donated to the Appalachian Bear Rescue to provide resources and aid to local bears.

Appalachian Bear Rescue (ABR) is a one-of-a kind facility in Townsend, Tennessee that rehabilitates injured and orphaned black bears and cubs of the Smokies and the Southeastern United States. Our mission is to rehabilitate orphaned and injured bears for release to the wild; to educate the public about black bears and the regional threats facing them; and to research bear attributes which may help solve other environmental or health related issues. Bears are an integral part of the Great Smoky Mountains. Appalachian Bear Rescue is a 501(c)(3)nonprofit organization that is dedicated to preserving the role that bears play in the Smokies and in other ecosystems across the United States. A primary goal of ABR is to make sure that the bears do not associate people with a food source.
