I have degrees in both Studio Art and Art Education. I have been teaching in public schools since 2001until 2020. I have earned a certificate for Trauma-Informed Expressive Arts Level One from the Trauma-Informed Practices and Expressive Arts Therapy Institute. I am endorsed as an Art Healer.

​

Creativity allows me to be my own best friend. I use the arts to collect my inner thoughts. I draw, write and immerse myself into nature. I move my body. This process keeps me closest to my spirit and keeps my energy in flow.

​

My practice takes form in art journals, paintings, and other mixed media projects while incorporating all of my senses.

My purpose is to bring consciousness into creativity.

 

That is the intention I bring to workshops I facilitate. Bringing people together for a shared experience

creates connection and allows us to see we are not alone. We see our truth mirrored back to us in our art. We can unleash our fullest expression. I hold true that creativity is our superpower.
