A Little About Me
After struggling with debilitating stress, depression, anxiety and feeling alone, misunderstood and uninspired, I embarked on a spiritual journey of self-discovery. I left behind everything I thought would make me happy in order to reveal my authentic path—the road less traveled. This exploration led me to my innermost truths as a Child of God, artist, writer and teacher. Throughout my journey, I discovered the Christian beliefs and ways that hold the key to a fulfilling, peaceful existence. I deepened my own connection to God and explored my innermost passions.

Testimony
I wanted to thank you for a great class yesterday. The way you conducted it, the creative handout, the materials & classroom - all were so professional and inviting. The paint process was so fun & spontaneous! And we each got to take home our masterpieces. You ignited a spark in me that wants to further explore this technique!
