Art isn't just my passion, it's my lifeline. It is a way that I've healed - as a human - and grown through 15 years as a professional artist and educator. Whether at my studio at The Silos at Sawyer Yards or on location at your big event, I can't wait to share that magic with you through hands-on workshops blending wax, flame, pigment, creativity, and a touch of play.
​
As a Texas State Board of Educators Certified teacher for ages K-12 plus years of treasured experience guiding adults of all levels, teaching is my true calling. I strive to spark kids' wild imaginations and reignite creative fire within adults.
From my own healing journey, I know art's profound power as a force for mental wellness. My main goal is fostering creative and inclusive spaces where we all find balance, joy, and genuine connection.
Partnering with local spots like coffee bars and wellness groups, I'm building a community where art therapy meets everyday wonder. Join me and let's create something transformative together.
