Creativity has always driven me. After a life-changing accident, art became my way to heal, express, and help others thrive authentically.

I create “mushroom lady” art, whimsical, textured pieces inspired by nature that evoke emotion and curiosity. After a life changing accident, canvas became my outlet for healing and self expression. As a single mom of three boys, my art is how I provide while building a life rooted in authenticity, creativity, and purpose.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in nature, from the night sky to the smallest details, with colors ranging from rust to rocks. I’m drawn to textures and the way natural elements come together to create depth and feeling, turning each piece into a space for expression and authenticity.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25k, I’d invest in my business and open a gallery where local artists can sell their work, host paint classes, and create a space inspired by nature. As a current student working toward becoming a therapist, I’d also use the space to eventually offer art based therapy and healing experiences.
