My Artistic Journey

​

As a Florida local, born and raised in Volusia County, my connection to art has always been deeply personal. Five years ago, I rediscovered my passion through fluid art, which quickly reignited my love for creating. What started as an exploration of color and movement soon became a journey into textures, techniques, and storytelling through various mediums.

​

Eager to grow, I immersed myself in learning—taking online classes and studying in person with experienced artists here in Volusia County. I continue to seek new techniques and expand my skill set, always pushing my work to evolve. My goal is to create art that not only reflects my own journey but also resonates with others, inviting them to connect on a personal level through the emotions and experiences woven into each piece.
