About Me

While other kindergarteners were drawing stick figure self-portraits I was busy drawing the details of my new dress and shoes, right down to the shoelaces.

I have always carried paper and pencils with me because I'd never know when the inspiration would hit. I went to college taking every art class I could -- painting, photography, ceramics, digital design, and more.

Then my life took a left turn. So I went to cosmetology school and then massage therapy school, and worked in both fields for a few years. Another left turn, when I should have gone right and I found myself working for a web design company.

I started designing graphics for their websites and after a few years was the head web designer. Before Facebook was around I helped design a website for NJ Singles and that's how I met my husband. We were on to something there with that website, we just didn't have the man power to put into it.

 I got married and had two boys and stopped working for any company in 2008.  Most of my time is dedicated to my sons, who both have different special needs. It's been a struggle. I have found a way to continue to create while also being involved with my boys. I volunteer much of my time there schools. I have worked on their yearbooks, Home & School Association and became a Den Mother.


The last several years I have designed playmats, deckboxes, frames, shoes, t-shirts, websites, company logos, clay ornaments. I have designed and painted the sets for a dance school, canvas paintings, murals on walls, clay incense houses, and costumes. It sounds like a lot but it's really not. My focus is still on my two kids. As they are getting older it's getting easier to be the "art chick" I was destined to become.

In 2023 I really started focusing on taking my side hustle to a small business. With my boys now 16 and 12, I applied to several different venues and was accepted. 2023 was a turning point. 2024 is looking bright.
