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 creativity truly runs in my family. Art has always been a passion of mine, and I have a private art teacher who 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 has been an incredible journey.

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

As my difficulties increased, I developed severe social anxiety; I could barely speak to someone my age without tearing up. Eventually, my mom, who has always been like a friend to me, agreed that homeschooling would be best for me. This gave me the space to grow in my art and explore my passions in a safe space, giving me time to grow and learn without pressure.

My mom had the idea to hire a full time Nanny and Educational Personal Teacher. As my Nanny soon became my close mentor and friend, I began to heal. My anxiety eased, my relationships with my mom and family improved, 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 to one thing for love or acceptance. Through their talents, there is so much more waiting for them. Through my One-on-One Art Classes and Creative Custom Artwork Orders, I build meaningful relationships with my students and inspire them to never give up. I aim to show that, even in hard times, hope is possible, and life can improve. I am 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 to hold onto hope. This is my mission. Thank you for considering my talents, I hope they can help heal and inspire you too.

With love,
