Folktales communicate scenes about human nature and demonstrate the idea of consequence. I create autobiographical bodies of work that depict scenes of everyday life shrouded in a layer of fantasy. Utilizing themes of community, family, wealth, consequence, and mortality, I merge each scene with multiple folk references pulled from the American South, as well as other worldly tales, and overlapping symbolism to illustrate life experiences. By creating vignettes armed with bright, alluring colors, the pieces feel familiar, even when being viewed for the first time.
