I’m an artist, storyteller, business owner, and mom—which means I run on creativity, caffeine, and sheer determination (with an occasional side of existential questioning). Between juggling a full-time job, co-owning a diamond painting company, and raising my incredible neurodivergent child (while navigating my own neurodivergent adventures), life is basically a beautifully chaotic juggling act. But no matter how wild the circus gets, I always make time to create—because art isn’t just what I do, it’s how I make sense of the madness.

Thanks to the brilliant and mildly devious Rose Proffitt, I dove into AI and digital art in 2023, unlocking creative rabbit holes I never knew existed. I love blending emotion, color, and storytelling to create pieces that hit home—whether that’s sparking recognition, comfort, or the sudden urge to rethink all of life’s choices. My Resilience Art dives deep into themes of mental health, LGBTQ+ experiences, and the rollercoaster ride of invisible disabilities. Authenticity is key, so I collaborate with muses to ensure every story is told with honesty, respect, and maybe a dash of whimsy.

Color is my secret weapon—soft pastels, neon explosions, and the occasional oddball character that insists on existing outside the box. Sure, art can be introspective and intense, but sometimes it just needs to be weird, joyful, and unapologetically ridiculous.

At the end of the day, my biggest joy is seeing people connect with my work. If someone looks at a piece and feels seen, heard, or at least entertained enough to forget their inbox for five minutes, then I know I’m doing something right. Whether I’m illustrating resilience, joy, or just celebrating the absurd beauty of existence, my art is always a reflection of what matters most to me.
