Parkersburg, WV
The briefest synopsis of my life is that I was born, raised and married military. While I’ve never served, I am a lifelong military family member. With that came multiple transfers to new locations. This journey took me to Alaska, Texas, Florida, Arizona and South Carolina. Along the way, I grew up, married the love of my life, and had an amazing Kiddo. In 2003, my husband left the military and we found ourselves in West Virginia. For the first time in my life, I was home.
Even without formal creative training or education, art has always been a part of my world. It is a healing activity that allows me to explore myself and the world around me. In 2014 I discovered epoxy clay and have been sculpting ever since. All of my artwork is a study of empowerment, kindness and deep communication with self. Art is a way to let go of the titles and expectations that tarnish our spirit and replace them with our dream self.
