a bit about me  (just scratching the surface)

I've been creating for as long as I can remember -- whether it be building fairy houses in Central Park during school trips when I was a little girl, or being sprawled out  working on a painting in my college dorm room late into the night --  I've always been drawn to the way it can express emotions, ideas, and experiences in a way that words often can’t. Art-making heals me every day. My artwork is whimsical, drawing on themes of the natural world and personal experience. My work is about more than just making pretty things; it's about inspiring others to find their own creativity and use it to make a positive impact in the world. Whether it's teaching a class or creating my own art, I'm always looking for ways to connect with others and share the joy of creating.
