I was born and raised in Santa Fe, New Mexico surrounded by many artists, various cultures, and endless inspiration. It is still the city I call home and the community I adore.
Growing up I dreamed of being an artist. Being the practical person I am, I earned a degree in graphic design instead. I immediately began at a media studio as a production manager. It wasn't long until life happened. The type of life event that you don't get to choose and yet it overwhelmingly changes you. I was diagnosed with Systemtic Lupus Erythematosus and the diagnosis' of complications from it seem to never stop coming. Lupus is an autoimmune disease and drastically changed my ability to work. It is through painting that I have discovered peace and reunited with the person I believe I was meant to be.
