~ MY STORY ~
I Dreamt of Becoming a Professional Artist One Day.
My excitement for art began as a young girl and followed me into high school, where I took every art class available. Learning everything from drawing to sculpting, only made my passion for art grow stronger.
I married early on and started a family. My young family was my joy, my happiness and my main priority. Even though my hectic schedule as a mom kept me very busy, I still found time to continue with my art, drawing or painting late into the night. I often gifted my art to family and friends.
As my children got older, my responsibilities of motherhood shifted and I was able to work on my art more and more. Now, my children are all happy, healthy adults with children of their own.
Motherhood was and still is my greatest gift and accomplishment!
The Fire of Art Ignited Within Me!
With my children grown, I felt this powerful calling to go after a dream, the dream I had since my childhood. I wanted to pursue art on a professional level. I enrolled in the Milan Art Institute, Mastery Program to hone and enhance my skills.
I am now, a Mastery Graduate!
Being a professional artist was always my dream and now I am living it! Creating art is my full time job. This is my passion, my dream and my intent; to create and share my art with you and the world.
"I create art because it makes me happy;
I share my art to inspire others to be happy!"

~ STYLE ~
My style has been an evolution like the chapters in my life. It is diverse and mostly based on the medium I am working with, at the moment. I enjoy creating mixed media art incorporating a variety of artistic products, including collage, markers, spray paints, 24K gold leafing, acrylic and oil paints, along with watercolors from time to time.
I love to use vibrant colors that generate positive energy with a happy vivacious atmosphere.
When using oils and acrylics, I thrive on mixing it up from loose florals and abstracts to realistic landscapes. I have so many ideas, I keep an open mind while painting and let my brush move where it wants to. My inspiration comes from the beautiful outdoors and the world around me, with a strong emphasis on nature and florals. I am also inspired by the alluring human body.
My ink drawings of my Gods and Goddesses are on another level!
Even though I was young when I began this style of art; I felt a deep passion to pursue this with intense commitment to develop my unique and original style. I followed my intuitive instincts to incorporate beautiful men and women into my wild and whimsical imagination, creating what is now, my Gods and Goddesses.
They are probably my most specific and distinct style of art, which I feel, defines me the most as an artist. While my artistic skills with ink have evolved over the years, my manner and form have remained the most consistent and true to me.
