About Me

From Louisville, KY

Lives & works in Nashville, TN

Mac's work is composed of various mediums including metalworking, textile manipulation, printmaking, illustrations, performance, and installation art.

Her passion for both music and art have carved a career path of working as a visual design contractor for various music festival venues, and she hopes to expand her professional endeavors into a Graphic Design and Illustrations path.

Aesthetically driven, her work is guided by issues of abuse, mental instability, fear, and empathy for the human condition. She draws further inspiration from subjects such as Folklore, the Occult, Nature, and the Macbre. These topics and motifs are reflected in the conjunction of materials used, and the symbolism carried by each object.
