I’m a multidisciplinary artist joyfully creating in between dancing, playing with my Doberman pup named Hope, and traveling whenever I can. I became a full-time artist in June of 2021 and actually to be honest I didn’t even know I wanted to pursue an art journey until one month before that! I mean I definitely enjoyed drawing and sketching all throughout my childhood, but painting was not my thing until something sparked in me in May of 2021. I used to be a professional dancer and pursued that career until the worldwide lockdown closed the performance industry for a while so I had to get “regular” jobs for income. I learned a lot through the multiple jobs I worked and I think the biggest lesson learned was I knew deep down these jobs were not meant for me long term, but I just couldn’t figure out what I wanted to pursue or do next with my life. I deeply missed performing and being creative and expressive. So I prayed a lot and asked God to lead me to wherever it was He wanted me to go next. I remember one day while I was scrolling on Pinterest, I think I was trying to find some creative inspiration to start a crafty project or something to relieve my mind from the stress at work, but anyways I saw a beautiful picture of a painting and right there and then in that moment I knew I wanted to learn how to paint. I didn’t know much about painting at all, but I was determined to learn. Not too much longer after that moment I decided to put my two week notice in to quit my job, so I could dive wholeheartedly into pursing this journey in art and now here I am years later doing what I love. I’ve been grateful for this whole adventure and I’m eagerly looking forward to whatever opportunities, inspiration, and connections come next along the way! And let me tell you… this is only the beginning!
