Artist Statement

What inspires me and my art is helping others. Because of my past I see the world in a different way than many of the people I grew up with and family. I have been halfway across the world to China, I have lived in a separate state than where I grew up and I am a pastor’s kid. These experiences impacted my view of the world, and my view is that everyone is important.

Everyone is Enough and everyone should have the decision to decide how they want to live. I was born into a Christian family and was devout for 25 years until my ex-husband abandoned me and asked for a divorce. After I was forced to look at myself and be by myself for the first time and I didn’t like how uncomfortable, scared, anxious and suicidal I was. So I made a decision to take faith and God out of my mental health recovery. I needed to know who I was before I can know who I am WITH Faith.

That was 4 years ago when covid hit NYS. Ever since I have been in therapy, and it has saved my life. I no longer want to unalive myself and self-harm has stopped completely for almost 4 years. My journey has taken me to places I avoided as a Christian, meeting new people, experiencing things I would never before and just living my best life to the fullest. Not for Anyone but ME because I have to live with me, and she has to be ok. I now sell my Art with affirmations as titles or messages for mental health awareness. If you are unhappy you can be happy and it starts with you because YOU have the power. 

You are loved

You are wanted

You are Important

You are and always have been ENOUGH.
