My Creative Story I come from a family of artists, so creativity has always been in my blood. I originally got my start as a graphic designer, but it wasn’t until I painted my first watercolor series of flowers and butterflies that something really clicked. That collection was licensed into greeting cards, tote bags, t-shirt designs, and more— and that’s when I realized I could express my talent in a meaningful way and turn my dreams into reality.

In 2022, I followed my heart and moved south, ready for a fresh start and a new chapter. That’s when I began creating custom dog portraits—something I’d always dreamed of doing. Not long after, doors started flying open. I began teaching watercolor classes, hosting community paint events (sometimes with as many as 45 people!), and painting heartfelt custom portraits of pets, loved ones, and even weddings—capturing those once-in-a-lifetime moments in watercolor.

Every step of this journey has reminded me how powerful and healing art can be. Whether it’s helping someone paint for the first time or creating a custom portrait that brings tears of joy, I’m grateful to do what I love and share it with others.
