Rooted in faith, nature, and a lifelong love of color, she launched her painting project at just 11 years old when she started painting faces and nails for friends and family. During her first year of high school, she was dual-enrolled in the cosmetology program offered through the Anderson County Career and Technical Center, where she gained foundational knowledge and practical skills; however, her love for art and painting gave her joy as she focused on creating mini works of art on thumbprint-sized canvases. Today, she is a 2nd-year middle college student pursuing a university-level pre-medical program.  She balances study with a devotion to her family, farm animals, and work, using her spare time to create personalized or original hand-painted designs on mini nail canvases. Each set reflecting her attention to detail, love of beauty, and belief that art can remind us of our connection to the world.
