From early on, it was clear I had an inclination towards art. My childhood is a collage of memories filled with hours in art classes and endless days exploring creativity. Ever since I could grip a crayon, creativity has been my constant companion.
Then came a detour—a detour named Accounting. I considered applying to SCAD with visions of brush strokes but switched gears for the ‘practical’ world of debits and credits. What a plot twist! Swapping sketch pads for spreadsheets? It was like trading my palette for a prison. The corporate jungle with its number-crunching vines and conformity trees was a straitjacket to my soul.
I met the realization head-on that in the realm of balance sheets, my spirit was colorless. So, I kicked the corporate shackles and sprinted back to my colorful world, trading the monotony of gray cubicles for the freedom of canvases.
Now, I've reemerged in my creative world, rediscovering boundless creativity and authentic self-expression.

Painting champagne bottles is where my creative journey takes a unique turn.
I channel my artistic passion into every piece, making them special reflections of life's meaningful moments. From weddings radiating love to engagements filled with promise, birthdays buzzing with laughter, the joy of new arrivals, and the warmth of new homes, I use my brush to capture the essence of these occasions.

The ocean is my peaceful place. I'll paddleboard till my arms fall off, but let’s be real: the sun can kick rocks.
