I am fortunate to look back on my life, knowing that I was raised in a loving family.  Conservative and God-fearing.  I grew up with an amazing Artist Mom.  There isn’t a craft, this extraordinary woman has not tried and EXCELLED in.  I watched her creations come to life and at times helped with pouring the wax for candles or sanding the surface of something, in preparation for decoupage…

Despite my privileged background, I struggled with the voices around me, allowing others into making me believe that I am not good enough, not pretty enough, not, not and not!  I allowed their view to ‘define’ me.  Based on these beliefs, I made choices that did not serve me and the definition of who I am was embedded in my relationships and my failures.

Thankfully the rebel in me wanted to prove them all wrong!  Everything I put my hand to, was driven by working hard in my attempts to be the best in my given field.  It was only later in life that I decided to take certified courses in nail technology, followed by makeup artistry to improve my appearance in the corporate world.  This fascination moved me towards certifying as a Professional Face Paint Artist, as I became obsessed with defining each area of my interests. 

I am blessed as my creative expression grows each day in leaps and bounds.

My God-given talents has grown into PASSION!
