My Story

Art is my passion

I started out portraying goddesses from India as I grew up surrounded by the sounds of tabla from my father and my aunt would hold festivals to Hare Krishna. I studied belly dancing and practiced yoga as a young woman that has also inspired my art.

Blessed with a mixed race daughter it was important to me that she could see herself as a goddess. It inspired me to branch out into creating goddesses from every culture as I want all women to understand their value.

A little more about me

I was born in Lawrence, Kansas in the small rustic house that my parents built. I grew up playing in the woods and flowers and fossils were my treasures. When I got older I never felt like I fit in, everyone else valued different things and I felt that I was strange and different. I became a people pleaser and lost myself in the process.

It was only when I embraced my creative side that I started to find that little bright eyed kid that loved being in nature, loved to create, and didn’t care what anyone thought about her. I always felt left behind only to find that maybe that’s where I’m happiest, lost in nature daydreaming, creating my own magical world in my paintings.

My process is unique

Working with different mediums such as sand, cloth,

when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
