Why I started this group
My story isn’t neat or curated. It’s messy, hard, and profoundly beautiful, and art is how I’ve survived it all.
Art has been my therapist, my anchor, my way back to myself when life felt unbearably heavy.
I’m a mixed media artist, an art teacher, and a certified creative guide in art therapy. But more than titles, I’m a woman who has lived deeply.
I’ve walked the road of infertility.
I became a mom through adoption — the kind of motherhood that rewires your heart forever.
I’m a dog mom (because unconditional love comes with fur).
I’ve loved deeply… and I’ve lost deeply too. Some losses change you in ways words can’t quite hold.
If you’re here because you’re creative, healing, rebuilding, or simply craving something real — you’re in the right place. This space is about honouring the raw, the real, and the beautiful… sometimes all at once.
Thank you for being here.
Pull up a chair. Stay awhile.
And if you feel called, tell me what brought you here 😊
