Here’s a little bit of information about me!
I am a mixed media artist as well as a trained and certified counseling therapist, living in the state of Maine, in the United States. I’ve been creating and selling artwork since 2014 and in 2021, I took a great leap of faith to also become a content creator and “teacher” on YouTube. My passion and purpose in life are not only to be creative, but also to help people live their best life through creativity. With this vision in mind, I take a mindful and compassionate approach to my creative process, teaching and connecting with others.
I consider myself to have a curious mind, an insatiable desire to learn, and an open heart willing to consider all that is plausible and possible. Originally from New Brunswick, Canada, I hold close to my coastal roots and I feel a strong connection to water and nature as a whole. In day to day life, I find much joy in exploring the world and expanding what it means to be an artist.
I often draw inspiration from nature and textures in my environment. And, it may go without saying that I LOVE color! My favorite artists growing up were Klimt, Van Gogh and Salvador Dali. They, along with artists and teachers such as Emma Pettit, Kara Bullock, Ivy Newport, Patrick Spirit, Flora Bowley, CeeCee (Créations CeeCee) and Carol Nelson have also inspired and influenced my work.
Thank you so much for being here with me! I’m so happy you’ve decided to connect with me on your creative journey!
