What do you do professionally?
I am a portrait artist (mainly photography) who captures people in their essence.
What do you want to do (professionally and/or personally)?
I want to take over the world with art and beauty!
Do you have any passion projects or ideas you want to explore with the Creative + Community?
I do! I love to paint and travel. I would love to explore taking groups to different local spots and destinations for art retreats.
Who inspires you? Why?
When people show their vulnerability as a strength.
Hobbies / Interests / Things that bring you joy:
I love Jesus, making the world a better place, traveling, the fusion of art mediums, the New York Yankees, flowers and seeing people transform in front of my camera, red corvettes and eye wings. ;)
Greatest accomplishments:
Raising my daughter solo while building my company (THE HUSTLE IS REAL!)

Having an art gallery show of my work, both photography and painting showcasing women ...We are on our way there now!
What excites you about being a Creative + Club Member?

Best piece of advice you have ever been given:
"You can't do that." ...oh now you just have to watch me.
Who is someone you want to collaborate with? Why?
A floral designer and event planner, we would make an awesome collaboration!
Favorite quote:
Life is too short to not be in love. (Literally my mantra for everything)
What does your best life look like?
My best-life is filled with art and travel, good health and freedom. Maybe an early retirement and amazing memories to look back on and leave as a legacy.
Last words for the Creative + Community and beyond?
Keep creating, keep trying, keep talking about your art and dreams, you never know who's listening and how the universe is conspiring on your side to make those visions come to life.
