As an artist, I keep my practice in flow by running workshops, painting wall murals, and facilitating one-on-one art well-being sessions. I enjoy textile design and freelance art commissions, working closely with people living with intellectual and physical disabilities. I have a passion for engaging community involvement and collaborating with others to expand my art knowledge. I facilitate a variety of art-based workshops, covering mosaics, craft, sculptures, textiles, painting, printing, and digital art. Mixing intuitive art methods is a common theme throughout my art process, and I’m always enthusiastic about connecting with local businesses and artists.
