My artistic journey began as a form of therapy. I believe there is beauty in pain and with that, you can always start over and began new, positive and happy life experiences from difficult times. I call my paintings "Bitter Darlings ®," because they radiate whimsical, messy versions of perfectly imperfect beauty and capture how dynamic we are in a way that oftentimes cannot be adequately described with words. My paintings highlight the importance of inclusivity, equality, and our own unique being. I don’t think there is anything more definitive of beauty than acceptance and understanding. I find that very intriguing. My goal as an artist is to celebrate and represent women through my art, women who get up and get it done, live life to the fullest, and crave wonder and grace all while giving back and making a difference. 💋
