Advocating for mental health is the foundation of my business. While I don’t use my Psychology degree in a typical manner, I choose to use my art instead to showcase that we can bloom and transform from a dark place to a place of divine creation.

We are the love of our own lives, and nothing beats caring for ourselves through self-expression and creation.
