I am a Houston based artist, wife and mother of three. My art journey started at a young age, I cannot remember a time I was not creating. Despite this early attraction to art, I felt a strong calling to get my degree in Nursing. I spent eight years practicing pediatric emergency nursing and yet, I felt as though I was neglecting an important part of myself. I yearned for the excitement, fulfillment and joy of creating fine art. After moving to Texas, I stopped nursing and embraced being an artist full-time. I have not looked back.
