Artist & Storyteller
Welcome to my slice of the creative world. I am an artist, UGC Creator, and Small Business Owner.
In January of 2024 I picked up my paint brush after a 30-year absence. It has been an eye-opening exploration back into my art roots and I am sharing my journey on YouTube and Tiktok.
