Drawing Dreams into Reality

I have always loved art! I love bright, whimsical art and try to create colorful pieces that brighten up the world a little. My favorite is drawing. I draw with pencils, pens, and digital tools.

I do a little bit of everything. I draw whimsical pictures, comics, create cards, cross stitch families and characters, knit, crochet, design flyers, presentations, and posters, and create art lessons for kids.

I love learning new art mediums, tools, and methods and am always looking for new ideas and inspiration. When I win the lottery you will find me somewhere sunny, on a beach, drawing and creating!

You often feel tired, not because you’ve done too much, but because you’ve done too little of what sparks a light in you.

Embracing Joy in the Beauty of Creating

“There is power in whimsy.

Whimsy is enthusiasm that refuses to defend itself with practicality.

It is finding meaning in pure enjoyment.

It is the practice of honoring delight for delight’s sake.

When being awake feels grey and stale, try inviting more whimsy into your life.”

Over the last 12+ years I have struggled with depression and anxiety. Some days are darker than others…while art isn’t a cure, and sadly I’ve yet to find any ‘magic bullet,’ it does help to just create. When I’m feeling down, or weary, or just hopeless it does help to make some beauty with my own hands. It’s just that little bit of power to put something lovely out into the world despite the dark cloud over me.
