So how did it all begin..? I was 10 when something shifted in my brain and I moved from scribble drawings to sketching portraits with amazing detail and accuracy. I would later find out in my training as an Art Therapist that it was an early childhood trauma that changed my brain to allow for this skill to flourish.

Today I support others who have experienced trauma, to flourish through the healing modality of Art Therapy. The use of plant based psychedelics for healing has also been a large part of my journey. To pay this forward, I now work with others after their own psychedelic experience, to help integrate the wisdom and spirit of the plant medicine and the journey they went through.

My story may have began there but takes many interesting and sometimes dangerous turns. Through each experience and phase of life a constant has been my relationship to art and the support that has given me, as well as a deep connection to being connected to the beauty and pain in the world.

My visionary art comes from a place beyond me. In this process, I consider myself to be a tool allowing energy to move forward onto the paper in front of me. Although I am a part of my art, it has always felt more like a channeling is taking place as I allow spirit to move through me. I have noticed that it has been during my most difficult times in life and deepest pains that the most beautiful art emerges, as happens with many artists. When we can create beauty out of hardship, life moves forward in a way that reminds us that there is more to it than meets the eye. Surviving quickly moves into thriving.
