Welcome to My Holler

As a nationally recognized, award-winning painter, muralist, and printmaker, my work is deeply rooted in place—the southeastern Kentucky mountains where I was born and raised. Through my art and the “No Hate in My Holler” slogan and design, I spread positivity, create community, and uplift the people of Central Appalachia.
