Creativity is in My DNA—Built, Sewn, Baked + Painted Into Me

Can you bake, sew, build houses, and paint all at the same time? Yeah, me neither! But my most vivid childhood memories are of watching my grandfather build homes, my grandmother sew and bake (almost simultaneously), and my uncle paint larger-than-life portraits. Creativity wasn’t just something we did—it was an indelible part of who I am.

Growing up in that world of making, I learned that creativity isn’t about doing everything at once—it’s about following what calls to you. But somewhere along the way, the world started telling us we had to have it all figured out. The perfect house. The perfect life. The perfect path.

But here’s what I believe: perfection is an illusion—and a pretty boring one at that.

Instead, I believe in the beauty of imperfection, the depth of creative exploration, and the magic of seeing beyond what’s obvious.

A Life in Layers: Art, Meaning + Visual Alchemy

Creative expression is my language. It’s how I make sense of the world—through layers, textures, color, and meaning.

I’m an artist, designer, and storyteller. A seeker, a dreamer, a vibe creator. My work is about mapping the unseen, giving form to emotion, and transforming what’s felt into something visible. It’s about blending intuition and artistic expression—what I call Visual Alchemy.

But my path here hasn’t been a straight line. I’ve explored many worlds—working in law, counseling, and interior design—always drawn to understanding people, spaces, and emotions on a deeper level. Each of these experiences shaped how I see, how I create, how I layer meaning into my work. And every part of that journey led me here.

For me, creativity is more than what we make. It’s about soul—how we see, how we feel, and how we connect. It’s about the energy that lingers in a space, the stories objects hold, the meaning woven into a single brushstroke.

My ever-evolving work is influenced by travel, architecture, interior and graphic design, fashion, nature, and the tension of opposites—the bold and the subtle, the graphic and the organic, the structured and the undone.

Through Visual Alchemy, I explore:
✖ Art as transformation—layering, experimenting, revealing.
✖ The language of imagery—how colors, marks, and textures hold meaning.
✖ Creative self-discovery—a space for seeing yourself differently.

No Rules. No Boundaries. Just Expression.

I naturally mix and shake things up. I’ve never been one for rules, labels, or following a straight line. I’m drawn to tension, juxtaposition, and contradiction—the unexpected details that make art, design, and life interesting.

I don’t subscribe to the grind. I don’t mass produce. I create what I love—intuitively, intentionally, with meaning.

My deepest hope? That my creativity sparks something in you—curiosity, inspiration, reflection, connection. That it reminds you to see the world, and yourself, a little differently.

Art That Travels, A Life That Evolves

No matter where you are in the world, my art and creative explorations are for you.

I live in Charlotte, NC, with my husband, my three boys, and our French Bulldog, Queen Maxine. Most days, you’ll find me in the studio layering paint, collaging, rearranging furniture, writing, dreaming up our next home, or getting lost in Pinterest and Instagram.

And while I may live on the other side of the country—or across the pond from you—just like love, creativity knows no boundaries.

Let’s make magic together.
