I’ve always been drawn to art and the creative process, but I truly started following my dreams when I noticed how fulfilling it felt to create art more consistently. During a challenging time, I picked up polymer clay, which became my gateway to creating consistently. Since then, I’ve expanded my work to include block printing, digital drawing, murals, and more.
Creating brings me fulfillment, whether it’s for myself or others. I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with amazing local businesses like Niko Niko Boba, Ococo Foods, and Dreamers Childcare, creating illustrations and murals. My work is inspired by the world around me, bringing comfort, joy, and nostalgia.
Now I have my own art shop online, Awe & Wonder, for the last year and a half, where I continue to share my work with the world. I’ve realized how important it is for me to slow down and create. My goal is to help people feel a little better in this world that demands so much from us. Creating pieces that remind us to pause, be in awe, and savor the wonders around us is what drives me. Adding a touch of cuteness and beauty to my corner of the world feels truly magical.
As an ever-evolving artist, I feel incredibly lucky to do what I love every day and continue to grow as an artist. I hope my art reaches more people, helping them feel joy, feel seen, and find a sense of calm.
