I am a wife, mom of 2 girls, lover of pugs, pizza and all things buffalo chicken. My house plants are taking over my home and I'm not mad about it.

I attended OCAD and completed my Bachelor Degree in Environmental Design.In 2014, after having my first daughter,I was searching for a creative outlet so I started painting again. An Instagram Art challenge that started as a monthlong accountability exercise turned into an Etsy shop, where I sold art prints. After I officially launched my website, It wasn’t long before my business exploded and clients I had only ever dreamed of working with wanted my art.

Even as my dreams were becoming reality, my journey hasn’t always been so easy. When I struggled with chronic pain, doctors misdiagnosed me with fibromyalgia, until 2017 when I received my diagnosis of Chronic Lyme Disease. In 2020 I flew to Germany for a 3 week inpatient treatment and have seen immeasurable healing. These days, staying at home with my two daughters and harnessing my art into a business has led me to just the right balance that helps me provide for my family and continue to focus on health + wellness.

Life can demand a lot of us, too often leading us down the path of stress, self-doubt, and the desire for perfection. But art is that magic, wonderful intersection where we can breathe, be ourselves, and let our intuition take over. Art heals, and small moments of reflection and calm can come from the beautiful art we surround ourselves with.

Art will always be my reminder to slow down, reset, and take a moment to connect. I hope it will be yours, too.
