about

I am an artist. Deep breath, there I said it.

I am evidence of the power of creativity to heal.

I facilitate visual journal workshops for The Thriving Initiative at UCSB and the Santa Barbara City College where I demonstrate how to merge art and writing into a self-care resource.

I had a life and death experience that profoundly changed the way I view the world.

I live to feel connected to others at the heart.

I am curious.

I am an introvert.

I am nervous to live out my life in the way that I have dreamed, but I am doing it anyway.

I always learn regardless.

Sometimes I wonder what might happen if I wholly committed to being myself first, before other responsibilities, before other relationships, before anything or anyone. The thought actually scares me.
