Expressing myself through art has always been a way for me to have a creative outlet. I have been painting, drawing, sketching, and crafting for the past 17 or so years. Art is something that I have always felt relieved stress and allow for creativity to flow through. No two pieces of are is the same. Each person can look at the same piece of art and at the end of the day have different out looks on them I enjoy looking at a blank canvas and watching my creations come to life as I add color and texture. Art is where vivid imaginations can run wild and there is no wrong answer....

Regardless of where you are in your artistic journey,I can meet you there and push you foward. You always have the option to either do a pre planned project or follow your inspiration if there is something you are interested in persuing. The atmosphere is always positive and relaxed yet at the same time, we are working diligently. I have a huge array of materials and I love to explore. The 90 minute class is often not long enough and usually everyone leaves wishing for a few extra minutes. Im interested in many different styles of art,from realism to fashion, manga , and mixed media and I get to share it all with amazing people....

It is the name I gave myself and my art and hand crafted jewelry. I take pride in making sure that whatever art or jewelry I create is beautiful, creative, original and pleses myself and my clients. I don't like work that isn't up to my high standards so I always make sure the work pleases me and then I know it will please a client. I have reasonable prices and I finish work in a timely manner.
