When you see something that moves you, makes you think, or makes you see the world differently.

It will light your soul up!

For almost 30 years, I followed all the rules.

I built the impressive résumé. Collected the awards. Checked every box.

And still, I felt empty.

Because you can’t be yourself while you're living for everyone else.

When you chase validation, silence your voice, and strive to “keep the peace,” you slowly disappear.

Freedom doesn't come from quitting jobs, moving cities, or "starting over."

My art is about the moment of return...

When God helps you remember WHO YOU ARE.

I’ve been creating for as long as I can remember, but 5th grade was a turning point.

My teacher had us draw and label the parts of a recorder from memory as a pop quiz.

I spent 30 minutes shading and adding details when it wasn’t really needed.

But My music teacher noticed!

She got me tested for gifted art, so I began semi formal training then.

In my adult years, I studied at Milan Art Institute to really master my craft.

I lost my mom when I was 20.

She was my best friend, my biggest supporter.

I knew I wanted to give her eulogy. It felt like the one thing I had to do.

But when others doubted me...told me it would be too hard... backed down.

I stayed silent when it mattered most.

I still get SICK when I realize that I'll never be able to get that moment back...

For years, I had made myself smaller to make others comfortable.

I thought being "agreeable" was the same as being kind.

Now, my art is a reclamation.

Because the next time something matters deeply to me, I'm going to speak up.
