Everything I do is either an expression, exploration, experiment, or expansion. I'm still the little girl with skinned up knees who danced & colored & sang & took apart toys to see how they worked, & spent hours in a hammock under the trees feeling connected to something greater than myself.

I see life & everything around me as an abundant & supportive smorgasbord of potential. Something, anything, everything is filled with possibility. Things are always changing, and that doesn't have to be a bad thing. Like each wave, each breeze, each breath is different than the last one. Creating can be a way of capturing a moment, a feeling, an idea, and just like that little girl, I'm asking if you want to come out, share secrets in a fort, trade from our treasures and just keep playing and chasing those fireflies of experience & celebrate another moment. I want people to feel a ball of energy light up somewhere in their body that makes a connection. I want to help you feel alive & glad to be you & eager to play. There's nothing serious going on here. LIFE IS MEANT TO BE FUN
