Artistry and Passion: My Story

I used to be afraid of speaking. Afraid of giving my opinion. Afraid of being wrong. Afraid of being yelled at. For a long time, my silence felt safer than my truth. That fear didn’t come from nowhere. It was built slowly—layer by layer—starting in childhood and reinforced in a mentally abusive relationship that taught my nervous system to stay small, quiet, agreeable. Living with Marilyn was the beginning of learning that telling the truth didn’t protect me. If I told the tr

For the first time, my goals are rooted deeply in intention—grounded in my business, my health, and the life I want to live. 2026 will be a big year for me and my art. It’s the beginning of my gallery push . I’m starting small, but with purpose. I’m exploring grants and possibly an SBA loan, hoping to secure a location I can truly call my own. A space where my work lives, where people can walk in and feel something, where community and creativity meet. My goal is to have a fu

Freedom to Be Yourself  is the first large-scale abstract painting I created earlier this year.It marks a turning point—not just in my work, but in who I am becoming. The past couple of years have been deeply healing for me. They’ve been full of learning, unlearning, and slowly peeling back layers I didn’t even realize I was carrying. In that time, I learned so much about myself—and just as much about the kind of art I truly wanted to create. Abstract painting has become one

This year started off slow for my sales. After such a strong first year, I found myself quietly panicking. I wondered if the momentum was gone. I questioned whether that success had been a fluke. I felt anxious — the kind of anxiety that makes you question everything you’re doing. There were moments when I genuinely thought about giving up. I wasn’t sure anymore if I was creating for myself or creating for an algorithm. Social media can blur that line quickly. One minute you’

I’ve been quietly working on something that feels like a long time coming. A new collection, yes—but more than that, a body of work I’ve been growing toward as an artist. These paintings come from years of practice, from nights spent studying the sky, from learning how to shape a cloud with intention, and from discovering how to bring depth to something as deceptively simple as an abstract night. I’ve always loved the night. The moon, the rain, the way the world quiets down a
