I love exploring the dark nature of life. Whether its outside of myself or in, it has always intrigued me to no end. Music has been a big part of this cryptic journey to inspiration and continues to be. I remember listening to Tool when I was studying at the Art Institute during a 4 hour drawing lab and I literally thought I couldn't be happier. I cherish those memories and plan on making many more.

After developing myself as an artist for the last 20 years I have finally decided to share my work with the world.
Why now? Why have I waited? Well, I could say because I was busy being a mom from the age of 19 years old, or that I was too busy to make it a priority...and while those statements lend to the truth, they are not the reasons. The reason I waited so long, was because I was scared. I was scared of all the work it would take, scared of the rejection and scared of myself. Now at almost 36 years old, I am not scared anymore. I create art to express myself and connect with others. If you feel inspired even a lick by what you see here, then I wish we could talk about it over a glass of Prosecco and a badass cheese plate. I want to know your story as I share mine. We are all only here for a short time, I want to make an impact in your creative mind while I share my soul with you. I would love to hear how your thoughts, what inspires you to put fear behind you and if you have felt moved by any of my pieces. |
