I’ve loved drawing since I was a little girl. I inherited my father's artistic abilities. He was a tattoo artist for decades, and his grandfather was a painter, so it runs in the family. This has been a passion of mine, and I have a private art teacher myself, that pushes me, inspires me and I look to do the same for you.

Entrepreneurship is my mother's forte and she has inspired me to develop my own brand, which I have had a lot of fun doing. 

Over my lifetime I have had many challenges in school and growing up. I’m slightly on the autistic spectrum, which made me feel “different” from other kids. I struggled to understand things in school that seemed to come so naturally to others, and because of my differences making friends was difficult. Art became my safe space because of this, so I guess art has always been a passion of mine.

As the problems got worse, I developed severe social anxiety, I could barely speak to someone around my age without starting to tear up. Eventually, my Mom, who is also my friend, agreed I should do home school instead, which has given me the opportunity to engage in my art career. 

My mom had the idea to hire a full-time Nanny, Educational Personal Teacher. As my Nanny soon became my close mentor and friend, and I began to heal. I would engage with my Nanny and ask small questions and through these small conversations she introduced me to her beliefs, which slowly got me interested, and this led me to develop my own relationship in my beliefs. This changed everything. My anxiety eased, my relationships improved with my Mom, my family, and my art gained a deeper meaning.

Now, my mission is to help others who feel like I once did, to show them that they don’t need to give up on themselves, or cling onto one thing for love or acceptance, and that through their talents, that there is much more waiting for them. Through my One on One Art Sessions, my Online Self-Paced Art Courses, and My Creative Custom Artwork Orders, I can develop relationships with my students, and inspire them to never give up. That through the hard times, they should cling to hope, knowing it can get better for their situations, for themselves, and I will be there to support them, not just as an art teacher, but as a friend.

Art is healing and inspiring, but it’s only part of a much bigger picture. My true goal is to teach others not to abandon themselves, and that they can turn their dreams into reality! This is my mission. Thank you for considering my talents, and I know they can help heal you too!

With love,
