"My art is a conversation with my own spirit. I’m here to create. When someone feels something from it that’s just magical to me.

I create vibrant art that connects the physical and spiritual words, often featuring animals as joyful messengers. My work is a celebration of "good vibes," using a bold palette and playful symbolism to transform each canvas into a visual playground. By blending magical imagery with the beauty of the natural world, I create colorful expressions of happiness intended to uplift the soul and radiate pure, positive energy.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in nature’s brilliant colors. I’m moved by the simple, quiet details that often go unnoticed and the surreal beauty of my vivid dreams. By capturing these moments, I briny my colorful imagination to life.
What would you do with $25,000?I plan to donate $8000 in art supplies to the kids at Texas Children’s Hospital to help them find joy through creativity. The rest I’ll invest in my own art. Between working 40 hours a week and raising two teenagers, I currently paint in my kitchen, but I’m ready to organize my space. My goal is to create a functional setup with the right supplies so I can dive into my work the moment I have time for myself.
