About the Artist
I've spent much of my adult life being looked at.
As a woman who has built a career through sex work and the internet, I've become intimately familiar with the complexities of femininity, objectification, and the strange experience of existing as an image in the eyes of strangers.
Yet, away from the screens and the gaze of others, I've always found myself drawn to a quieter world.
I'm a self-taught artist and first-generation homesteader living in the American countryside, where much of my time is spent tending gardens, caring for animals, and learning traditional skills that require patience, intention, and the use of my hands.
My artwork is deeply influenced by the contrast between these two worlds.
In one, I am the image being observed. In the other, I am the one doing the observing.
Through painting, I find the freedom to explore beauty on my own terms. I am drawn to the fleeting, often overlooked moments of everyday life: wildflowers growing along a fence, the warmth of a summer evening, the imperfect beauty of the natural world.
There is something profoundly comforting about creating something tangible in a world that increasingly exists behind a screen. My work is an expression of that longing for simplicity, permanence, and connection.
I don't believe femininity and independence, sexuality and innocence, or modern life and traditional values must exist in opposition. Much like the life I've built for myself, my art lives somewhere in between.
Above all, I hope my work encourages others to slow down, look a little closer, and rediscover the romance of simply being alive.
The Story Behind Will House
I've always believed that places, much like people, carry stories.
When I purchased my little piece of the countryside, I inherited more than just a home and the land surrounding it. I inherited a history, one that began long before I arrived and will hopefully continue long after I'm gone.
Will House takes its name from the Will family, who called my property home before me. I wanted to honor the people who came before me and preserve a small piece of the history that makes this place so special.
There's something beautiful about knowing that the land we live on has been loved, tended to, and shaped by hands other than our own. I may call this place mine, but in many ways, I’m simply its caretaker for a little while.
Much of my artwork is inspired by the life I live here, the changing seasons, the gardens, the animals, and the quiet beauty of the countryside.
To me, Will House is more than a name. It's a tribute to the past, a celebration of the present, and a little something to leave behind for the future.
