I am an online solopreneur Who recently left my day job to pursue my art and photography full-time. Art has been my passion since I was a little girl doing crafts with my grandma. Since starting my business and launching my website in 2012, I have been featured in a number of local art shows and won awards for my photography. But most importantly, I've connected with hundreds of other creatives that inspire me every day. I find art to be therapeutic. Working on a drawing sends my mind into a "thinking-free" zone. Busy minds like mine need a place to retreat from all the thoughts bouncing around all day. Art is my perfect retreat. My tagline"heart.soul.create" defines my art in a nutshell. I create art from my heart, inspired by that which touches my soul. My grandest wish is for my art to touch your soul as well. I hope it ignites your senses, brings you back to a moment in time, or makes you feel like you are there with me in the moment of creation.

My hand-drawn creations start with a fresh sheet of fine art paper. With my tray of graphite, colored pencils, and charcoal in front of me, I will work 5-40 hours on a piece, depending on size and on the level of detail I want to incorporate. When I'm satisfied with my final piece, I seal it with fixative spray to prevent smudging before choosing the mat and frame that best compliments the work. All my materials are museum-grade, archival, and acid-free. My fine art photography is captured with a Nikon D3200 DSLR camera. I produce most prints myself, using a Canon Pixma Pro-10 printer with archival inks on Canson Infinity Photosatin Premium RC Inkjet Fine Art & Photo Paper. I send sizes larger than 13" x 19" to a professional printing company for printing.
