About Me

 I am an artist, writer/journalist, and art educator from Gulfport, MS.

I have a Master's Degree in both art education and English from William Carey University in Biloxi, MS.

I currently teach art appreciation and art studio classes at William Carey and MS Gulf Coast Community College. I frequently instruct art adult education classes, youth leadership workshops, and children's art classes through the college.

My paintings are available at my home studio, Bella Bleu Art Studio and Gallery, or at Fine Art America.com. 

I am a freelance journalist and photographer for The Sun Herald. I most often write about  the arts scene in my hometown, but often write for travel, business, and sports.
