About the Artist

Hello!

Welcome to my page of art! I’m a 29year old mother of 3. Art has always been my passion; after my second child, I found myself struggling with what I thought was only pregnancy carpal tunnel, hoping that after I had my baby; it would go away. To my disappointment, that was not the case. My carpal tunnel was so extreme that I could no longer sleep at night from the pain and swelling. This made my ability to create art alot more difficult and frustrating. For a while I didnt create a thing, the pain, discomfort and frustrations was just too much.

I realized I needed to change something. So I retaught myself how to move my pencil, how to stroke my paint brush in a way that caused less pain. I have about 6-8minutes from when I sit down and start creating till just over half my hand is completely numb and statically throbbing causing me to need to stop and stretch.

I’m a perfectionist, dealing with the inability to make things perfect. I paint a stroke with a set image in mind, and watch it look completely different than what I imagined; all from my inability to flick my wrist in that moment. Now I’m fighting the battle of correction, but that’s the beautiful thing about art; not everything is perfect and needs to be corrected. Those unbalanced lines are what makes it beautiful and unique.

Each piece is made with a tremendous amount of love and frustration ❤️
