About the ArtistGrowing up in the rolling hills of Tennessee, surrounded by folklore and down-home wisdom, definitely influenced my art. My love of the stories that fill every hill and holler in the South is what spurred me on to develop my skills, to match what I could put down on paper to the sprawling images in my head. Studying at the Cleveland Institute of Art, a school that has been turning out amazing artists for 130 years, has only increased my passion for story, which I believe is central to the idea and experience of humanity.
