As a little kid, I loved to draw; I loved to paint watercolors. Quite frankly, I loved to just color…colored pencils, pastels, and the flow of the watercolor paint. When I was in college, I discover something called vellum paper. I loved using markers on the vellum paper. Some of my most creative work, which I just fell in love with, was using markers in such a way that the ink moved and floated on the paper, it kind of just mixed together which was magical for me.

But, as an artist’s journey would have it, I started to explore different avenues and mediums. I held on to my love of drawing with a short stint as a clipart illustrator, and then I gravitated toward photography.

Illustration and photography are my bread and butter. And, I’m a self-proclaimed foodie, so I could talk about any one of my favorite restaurants all day long if given the opportunity. About 2 years ago, my husband bought us a dessert wholesale business, so not only did I expand my work-space, but now I have an excuse to go to all those restaurants I love (can you say, market research?).

My motto this year is “live life don’t let it live you.” I believe we are all just trying to figure out this thing called life, trying to come up with a balance—and I’m just trying to add a smile to your day.

When I’m not working on my latest creations, you can find me hanging out with my dogs (Bubba, Tom & Diamanté), convincing myself one day I will have 6-pack abs and planning my next beach vacation.
