As a youth I broke many bones. As a young adult I fractured my mind. What followed has been a life filled with the highest of highs and the lowest lows.

I entered treatment and was medicated and started therapy .Nothing helped and I got worse. Like so many in my situation I continually sabotaged myself. I have always been an artist but what art I created was dark and disturbing. It was definitely not conducive to healing. I abandoned my art.

Several of my therapists encouraged me to journal but I found it difficult to write. Out of frustration I began to journal with art. I found that I could work out issues with pictures. As I progressed the art became colorful. I started to look for the positive in my life. My sense of humor began to come out. Before this my sister used to say '' Who would want to hang that on their walls'' Now I can say that anyone can share my vision of happiness.

I can truly say that art heals. I have chosen not to be a victim. I am a survivor. I am bigger than my monsters.

My subject is whimsey. My subject is color. My subject is nostalgia. These are the common threads that run through my art.  I like to tell stories and share them with the viewer. You can accept my story or make up your own.

My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.
