About Me

Over time on my personal and artistic journey, I’ve been blessed to work with other women sharing my ever-changing creative and spiritual experience. I’ve come to know other creatives like myself who don’t want to stay trapped in a self-defeating cycle that requires more and more effort with little to no relief. Together we gain strength and hope for living and creating with enthusiasm and zeal. 

I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, lost, confused, and stressed, not knowing how to get in touch with myself. These difficulties were inside of me. The more I held on to what was familiar, the more painful it got. Finally, I understood that I was resisting letting go of what I knew and had come to expect. I was afraid and unwilling to take the emotional risk of stepping into something I did not plan or imagine — my true nature or identity.

It’s not easy or comfortable, but straightforward. Early on, I was taught about freedom tools. They helped me identify and surrender beliefs that were holding me back and detach from past experiences that no longer served me. I began letting imagination be my guide. I found curiosity opened the door, and started the process of breaking down the wall of self-protection I’d built and getting the freedom my soul was seeking. 

Around 2012, I hit a wall and suddenly felt like my past was repeating itself. It wasn’t in reality, but my thinking told me it was. Much of the old fears and emotional pain rose within me. I was blind-sighted and reached out to a woman. I’ll never forget her response. She said, “What if you dared to imagine that your fears, pain, and self-doubt were potential? She asked me, “What if you are filled with possibility? Think about it.” I pondered that question for a good while. 

I felt led to press into my creativity. It was as if God/The Universe began speaking to me with color, movement, and sound. My heart and mind opened, and new freedom and trust took me. In hindsight, I believe that it was a manifestation of “possibility” rising up. 

I began journaling and listing things that came to mind, things I heard and saw, knowings, and thoughts that came to mind. I recorded colors, shapes, objects, songs, numbers, and symbols. I felt more connected to my innermost self and was feeling emotional relief and spiritually stronger. 

I no longer suffer from self-doubt and inadequacies or constantly compare myself to others. Comparison has caused me more creative blocks than I care to admit. Comparison is highly debilitating and disempowering. I’ve sought classes, workshops, and courses to help me move forward and create art when I felt so much less skilled, less prolific, and less popular on social media. Even when I compared myself favorably, I lost because my worth had become dependent on other people. 

Even the little things like my environment have affected my level of motivation and self-esteem, leaving me blocked and feeling lonely and sad. I’ve struggled with feelings of despair, anxiety, and distractions that have led to procrastination. Working through my procrastination uncovered deeper issues like my lack of confidence. This helped me understand my tendencies to overwork pieces, overschedule myself, and become unorganized. All these things affect my art-making.

When my inner turmoil was consuming me, I did not know that this was my place of breakthrough. My Creator was waiting and wanted to release and activate my creative path for healing. I was right on time and right where I was supposed to be. 

I learned how to unlock undiscovered facets and accomplishments I have inside of me by integrating art and spiritual principles for continuous insight and clarity. It’s made leveraging new opportunities for my personal and artistic transformation easier.
