My Background
When I was in preschool, my favorite time of day was when I was allowed to draw and paint. As I got older, this love never faded and eventually I went to college to study art. The costs of Art School wasn't something I could manage so instead I began creating as a hobby.

My Medium
My Inspiration
My Background
I use many different mediums and creative outlets, such as stones, papers, acrylics, pen and ink, watercolors and pastels. Photography, including portraiture, concert. Boudoir, nature, pin up and even getting in front of the camera from time to time when an idea is brewing and I need a model. I believe that working in a single medium is restrictive to my artistic process. Each idea manifests in its own individual style.

My Inspiration
My Inspiration
When my brain is stretched bouncing a thousand directions inside my skull, when I see the pain and pleasure of human existence, when my heart hurts for myself or others. Late at night if the troubles of the day keep me awake, during the witching hour when nightmares are hard to decipher from reality.....these moments feel like an unmanageable energy is simply going to burst from my finger tips and pour out of my eyes. I am still learning to hone in this creative madness. Keeping notebooks of ideas everywhere in hopes I can find the motivation and confidence to expand my ideas into reality.
Help Me on My Quest
Your support and contributions will enable me to meet my goals to open my arts, crafts, and foods pop up shop by summer 2023. I hope to have merchandise available at local farmers markets and craft shows and expand into selling baked goods. Your contributions and generous donations will help fund my mission. I will soon have handmade products available to purchase on this site as well.
