Painting and drawing I also love to make jewelry- beaded and silver. I love taking pictures I love all art I am happiest when creating art whether it be sewing or carving stone or multi media. I love to create…I live to create and I have been held back from my abilities for too long. I only want to help others, inspire healing, love and peace. Due to my disabilities with my back I struggle working in a retail market capacity I would love to focus on my abilities to support myself artistically.
Where do you find inspiration?In everything living and past, in nature and energy, soul memories and universal feelings. Images of loved ones the beauty of the world we live in as complex as it can be. Emotions we don’t understand feelings we can’t explain.
What would you do with $25,000?As a disabled single mother $25,000 would help me get a used car and assist in getting my business Crystal Mama Designs up off the ground. Four years ago I was scammed, my supplies stolen and had a traumatic event happen due to an abusive partner, I had every intent of creating a business helping others heal through trauma and grief through jewelry using crystals that benefit the body and painting images of pets who have passed on. I have been rebuilding my life working on healing since then.
