I create mixed media art that serves as a gentle refuge for thoughtful souls navigating the beautiful complexity of modern life. My paintings are crafted for those who carry deep appreciation for storytelling, community, and the quiet moments that restore the spirit.

Through layers of paint, collaged papers, and found materials, I build visual narratives that reward every glance with new discoveries. Each piece offers gentle reminders of peace and beauty, whether you’re stealing a few minutes between responsibilities or settling into deeper contemplation.

My work honors the journey many of us share—the small-town roots that shaped our hearts, the broader dreams that drove our ambitions, and the ongoing quest to find balance between doing and being. I embed meaning and memory into every layer, creating pieces that reflect back the nostalgia, wonder, and sense of belonging that live within you.

I incorporate vintage ephemera, weathered textures, and vibrant color to evoke both past and present. These elements intertwine personal narrative with universal themes of home, memory, and connection. My art doesn’t ask you to be different than you are; it simply offers a visual anchor for the intentional life you’re already working toward.

Ultimately, I create not just paintings, but companions for your walls—pieces that transport you back to what matters most and celebrate the beauty you seek in unexpected places. My work invites you to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the quiet joy that sustains us.

Use this section to get the parent/child taxonomies for a single post being viewed

The above pulls in each of the parents within the artist-discipline taxonomy , which is good, if I want to display them alone without their children.
Terms: Mixed Media
Terms: Painting
Terms: Visual

I need to probably display these like this:

Dance: Ballroom, General, Hip Hop, Jazz.

Design: General, Graphic

Will need to figure out how to return the sub categories (artist-discipline) for each parent individually and then loop through all parents assigned to the CPT (artist) being viewed.

In this section I was able to successfully pull all sub categories that belongs to the 2 parents selected. This could be good if I was trying to show all possible choices under that parent, but what I really need is to pull just the selected ones back.
