Hi, I’m MJ.
I am a local artist in Greenville, South Carolina and am excited to work with you!
I’ve been drawing and painting since I was a little girl. I was 6 years old when I started having my friends and family sit and pose for me. Their willingness to sit for hours on end, in addition to my studies, has given me the skills to turn your most precious moments into heirloom art that lasts for generations!

CLIENTS FEEDBACK.
WONDERFUL WORK
“When I saw MJ’s work online I knew it was exactly what I was looking for, when I received it it exceeded my expectations. It is so beautiful. MJ was so nice, and the turnaround time was very quick. I look forward to growing my collection with her work.

BFA & MFA WORK.
I have been classically trained and featured in multiple galleries throughout the US.
The series, In Flux, was the focus of my undergraduate studies while receiving my Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) at Bowling Green State University ‘13. Both the Diminishing Connections & the Lineage Series, were apart of my thesis while receiving my Masters of Fine Arts (MFA) at Clemson University ‘16.

DON’T NEED CUSTOM ART?
My own paintings are available for purchase to showcase in your home or give to another. Select prints and greeting cards are available in the shop.
I CANNOT WAIT TO WORK WITH YOU.
The ability to capture a moment or tell a story is what makes art personal and powerful. This understanding has been a foundational part of my life and career. It is an honor to be able to transform your photos and memories into a piece of art to cherish for years to come. If you have any questions or would like additional information, feel free to reach out!
