MEET OUR LOCAL ARTIST

---

I’ve spent almost all of my 31 years creating ANYTHING. From adorning the backyard with flowers and string and the sidewalks with chalk, to working extensively within my central Illinois based community and businesses and unexpectedly building myself a portfolio, art has truly carried me through every phase of life. Sticking to one medium would be too easy for me, so over time I have learned to work with graphite, charcoal, pastels, paint,  pyrography and in the past few years I also added digital work - designing logos, tattoos, editing photos and creating graphics. 

Most of my personal work carries tones of mental health and wellness, as well as showing my love for the outdoors and my passion spending 7 years as a  floral designer.  Creativity helped me cope for years before I showed out with my designs, and its been comforting and refreshing to share my skills to help brighten someones else's day. Not only do I get to share my life's meaning,  I've also been able to relate and help so many others open up by sharing my own mental health struggles and having the experience to take care with my clients thoughts and feelings when a commission is personal. I never considered myself to be a "people person" until I decided to become my own brand, but as my client list grew longer over the years and I began to have familiar names returning for more work, I was pushed to realize that I can flow and interact well with people from all across the board and I have a skill when it comes to putting together the puzzle pieces of an image you might not even be able to describe.

Outside of a Busy Mom life, you can always find me with my head in a new project or jotting myself half-assed notes to remember “hey create this one day” because the inspiration never ends when you put yourself in a place to find it.
