Drawing on her Appalachian roots, she infuses her art with themes of nature, authenticity, and transformation. Whether blending representation with abstraction or exploring mixed media, her art resonates with those seeking emotional depth and creative inspiration.
For Precious, art is both a sanctuary and a celebration of shared humanity. When not in the studio, she enjoys spending time with her husband and writing her weekly newsletter, Joyful Expressions.

ARTIST STATEMENT​
​
My art explores the convergence of inner and outer worlds, mapping the emotional landscapes of the human experience. Through vibrant colors, organic textures, and mixed media, I create works that embody transformation, resilience, and the beauty of imperfection. Each piece emerges intuitively, beginning with a feeling, a color, or an idea, and unfolds through a dynamic process of layering, editing, and discovery.
This evolving journey often bridges representation and abstraction, inviting viewers to interpret their own stories within the work. Themes of perseverance and self-discovery are central, shaped by my personal experiences and inspired by nature's cycles of growth and renewal.
My goal is to create art that fosters reflection, emotional connection, and a sense of sanctuary—a visual reprieve where imagination flourishes and the mind can roam freely.
