Every good design starts with a hello! So I suppose this is mine. i am a designer, artist, maker of all sorts. I am a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a friend. I am obsessed with wandering the world and VISITING every cozy corner of it. i believe that curiosity and wonder is the birthplace for change, i believe that a little imagination can go a long way, and more than anything, I believe that the best art begins with connection. so let's do just that!

MY HAPPIEST MEMORY...
THIS IS A HARD ONE....I HAVE MANY.... TRAVELING IRELAND AND SCOTLAND WITH MY MOM, HONEYMOONING IN AUSTRALIA AND EUROPE WITH MY HUSBAND, HAVING OUR FAMILIES TOGETHER IN CHILE FOR OUR WEDDING, PRETTY MUCH ANYTIME SPENT WITH MY NEPHEWS AND NIECES, THE DAY WE GOT OUR LIL PUP KYLO, AND MY NEWEST HAPPY MEMORY IS THE DAY WE WELCOMED OUR GOLDEN BOY, AURELIO, INTO THE WORLD.

MY ARTIST INSPIRATION IS...
MY GRANDPA, HE WAS A PAINTER, SCULPTOR, AND A HUGE PART OF WHY I AM AN ARTIST TODAY. he was resilient, always adapting and learning new ways to create even when he was against all odds.
AND GOD, I MEAN HE MADE EVERYTHING OUT OF NOTHING SO THAT'S PRETTY REMARKABLE.
