My life has been about the journey; one that continues to surprise and inspire me, with no predetermined ending. I am a creative female (she/her) with a myriad of first-hand experiences that define who I am today. Through all that I have experienced, one absolute has remained constant; ART.
The next four words have taken great strength and years to accept, acknowledge, and share.
I am an artist.
Like many kids, I started at a very young age with pencils and crayons. At no more than 8-years-old, my mother taught me my greatest lesson; shadows oppose the light source. That life-changing moment led me to experiment later on with watercolor, acrylic, and finer pencils.
I left The Jersey Shore at 21-years-young to follow my dreams of travel. From Jersey to Vermont, then Florida and Texas… I was disappointing my parents at an alarming rate. Random employment during this time involved many different industries; radio, a microbiological testing firm, adult beverage company, construction, and a mom-and-pop camera store. This part of my journey ended when I enlisted in the world’s finest Navy at age 28.
As a creative soul; during my seven years in the Seabees, I continued to let the creative juices flow. I designed t-shirts for my organizations, our projects, and our deployments and photographed significant happenings.

Now, I am realigning my life passions pursuing what I love… visual arts and communication. My journey has taught me that I am happiest when creating or admiring original pieces that evoke thought and/or emotion.
I am proficient in Adobe Creative Suite.
