I create art to transmute the grief & journey associated with losing both parents too early, PTSD, homelessness, genetic alcoholism & etc.

I love painting acrylics on canvas but dabble in water color, clothing, crafts, writing, & speaking. And I love to add glitter, metallics, & shine. Gotta sparkle!
Where do you find inspiration?The knowing & strength from the Divine to keep persevering & taking the next best step forward for overall wellness, even if it means simply but deeply painting. I incorporate roses in 95% of my artwork because my mother, Rosemary, passed quickly to cancer. I want her to live vicariously through me in that way, and because of a tumultuous childhood for us both I strive to overcome struggles through my art as opposed to self sabotage.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in more tools to grow an artists career, create more designer clothes, and possibly the space to allow my artwork, gifts, and creations to be more easily accessible to others while offering supportive services like mentorship & coaching, assisting and teaching others how to work with their own energy to be successful & begin to create from a space of wholeness in their own lives.
