Living hope for the hurting, healing, and heartbroken.
My art is a visual reminder that hope is alive and healing IS possible from the inside out.
I offer collectors and fellow creatives who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or addiction - meaningful, hope infused animal art and art therapy-based tutorials.
I use colorful cats, dogs, birds, insects, and flowers to plant seeds of hope! Each piece telling a story about the quiet, unseen metamorphosis of a heart and mind walking one step at a time with Jesus. What a colorful journey it’s been!
An eye shining new collection coming.
I believe the eyes tell a story about the soul.
The Transformed by Hope collection is an eye shining, acrylic mixed media series featuring wild cats, dogs, birds, and flying insects.
Each piece serves as a visual reminder that healing IS possible and beauty can blossom from our greatest mistakes or in the darkest seasons of life.
Through vibrant color and energetic natural life this series seeks to uplift the weary heart, offer comfort and wisdom in seasons of struggle, and inspire viewers to believe that change can blossom in dark places.
Using Animal Art to Help Guide Growth.
After experiencing domestic violence and struggling with deep rooted insecurity, I fell into addiction, anxiety, and depression. At my lowest I was living in my aunt’s basement, broke, addicted, and unable to keep a job.
In that hopeless season I turned to the church, where free group therapy and a new friendship—who became my accountability partner—helped me start rebuilding my life. Soon after that I began drawing and painting animals every morning and evening while listening to sermons and painting tutorials. A creative habit and faith that steadily transformed me from the inside out.
Today, my life is brighter than I could have ever imagined! I’m addiction-free, blessed with an amazing husband, two young children, five beloved pets, and sharing my story and skills as an Art Therapy Practitioner and Independent Artist.
