I am a fine artist, muralist, and legacy portrait painter based in the Lowcountry of South Carolina.

My work lives in schools, on community walls, and in homes that understand the difference between decorating and documenting. I paint the people whose stories shaped this land, civil rights organizers, educators, community builders, and I paint the people you love so their faces endure long after memory fades.

I founded A Beautiful Distraction as a fine art brand grounded in culture, resilience, and the belief that art is not decoration. It is evidence. It is preservation. It is the thing a community passes down when words aren't enough.

Born in New York. Rooted in South Carolina. Painting for legacy.
