I am much happier as an artist. I feel incredibly fortunate to have turned my passion into a career.

I’m a double Leo [solar + lunar signs]. Take that with what you will, but to Me, I was born an Artist. My mother saw this and pushed for Me to actually have an amazing education with both a BFA and MFA.

I’m so outside of the scope of societal conformity that I find it confining to be put in a box. Tell any Artist to follow rules and they will find the most creative ways to break them. Having limitations on projects helps work the problem solving mind, but at the end of the day, I am always finding new ways to inspire not just My viewers, but Myself. Isn’t that what life is about? It is for Me. Read more>>
