Painting, crafting, visualizing, creating. As a girl from a small Florida beachtown with not much else to do, once I started my journey with art it was impossible to stop. 

 

I began to see art in everything. I felt it flow through me as I paired my music with my moods, wrote about my woes in rhymes, and sketched to revere my favorite things. During the times I felt limited by the decisions made for me, I dove into an alternate world where self-expression released those chains, and my own choices were given a place to shine. 

 

Growing into an adult, sketching and painting became more of an occasional scratch I got to itch. Photographs became my new favorite way to express myself, both behind the camera and in front of it. While I traveled and continuously sought adventure, it felt almost compulsory to show others the emotions I felt while I was there - and evoking those emotions through photographs gave me such satisfaction. A challenge that lit a warm fire in me greater than anything at my day job.

 

Six years I spent in IT. If you had asked me, I'd say I missed the ample time I used to have. To sketch, paint, and sit still. To immerse myself in expression and color. And so I found a love in creating customized bracelets, and an even bigger love in my capacity to gift others with them. 

 

Luckily, through every situation I've been in - busy or free, hopeful or dejected, independent or loved - it never left me that my thoughts, feelings, and dreams deserve a home. Today, more than five filled journals sit quietly in my closet. Manifestation starts with me, right?

 

So here I am now, years of manifestation later, in New York, with my creations on display. I'd say I'm finally rebranding myself as an artist, but aren't we all artists, curating our lives?

 

The right choices and decisions provide opportunity, and we may find ourselves successful from them. But I encourage you to never forget to listen to that inner voice. Whether you see it as intuition, faith, the universe, or something deeper within, there is wisdom in listening to it and trusting where it leads. It just may take us beyond the limits we inherit, and make room for new realities. 

​

I hope that upon viewing my work, you feel what I feel.

 

That we are limitless
