From my childhood's chaos, I found peace in my crayons, paper, tiny little hands, and vivid imagination. I've always loved to create, but a big part of me, even so young, relied on creating for survival- for a sense of security, love, or hope that things would one day be okay.

As I got older, I looked to art for the same reasons. I realized the pain I held within myself needed somewhere else to live. I thought, what better thing to do with my pain than to create something beautiful out of it?

I create each day with the intention to make my life and the lives of others around me beautiful and vibrant, and to unlearn and let go of all the shame I’ve been taught to hold.
