Where Creativity Thrives and Healing Begins
Artful Narrative Studio
Artful Narrative Studio is my working studio and gallery space at the Dilworth ArtisanStation in Charlotte’s South End - a place where I paint, experiment, and display my work.
It has also grown into something more. The studio is a space where people come to explore, create, and connect- through painting, workshops, exhibitions, and shared experience.
I invite you to scroll down and explore the difference ways you can be a part of the Artful Narrative experience - whether that’s visiting the studio, joining a workshop, commissioning art, or exhibiting your own work.
Artful Narrative Studio is located at the Dilworth Artisan Station, in Charlotte’s Historic South End. It is open to the public by appointment Monday-Friday, and during our monthly First Friday Gallery Crawls.
NEW EXHIBITION
An interactive art installation revealing the invisible weight we carry—stress, burnout, grief, and expectation—often hidden beneath the illusion of normal.
I Can Hold Your Heavy
Visit My Gallery
My gallery features portrait and narrative paintings centered on people and their stories.
Many of my pieces are commissions, developed through conversation and real experience. If you’re interested in commissioning a piece or want to talk more about the work, I’d love to connect.
Exhibitions & Guest Artists
At Artful Narrative Studio, I offer gallery space for both emerging and established artists - a place to be seen, to share work publicly, and be part of a creative community.
I invite artists to exhibit during First Friday Gallery Crawls, where the studio comes alive with visitors and conversations. I also develop and present my own exhibitions and collaborative installations.
Workshops
I offer workshops that combine art, reflection, and exploration - using
painting, writing, and other creative practices as a way to work with color, story, and personal expression..
Some sessions focus on technique, while others are more open and exploratory, giving you space to create in your own way. My workshops are designed to be restorative - creating a sense of calm, balance, and healing through the process.
I invite you to explore the workshops and find one that speaks to what you’d like to learn or experience.
