This is art with something to say
If you’re here, you’re likely looking for more than just beauty —
you want to feel.
You’re in the right place
Here, creativity is more than expression — it’s medicine.
Each piece comes from a place of resilience and feeling.
When my nursing career suddenly ended, painting became my way to start healing and figure things out.
My work holds all the messy feelings—grief, gratitude, and quiet strength—that come with that journey.
I make art to create a space where people can feel seen, understood, and just a little less alone. If something here speaks to you, let’s start a conversation.

"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you."
— Maya Angelou
