  • I’ve been a creative person since I could hold a crayon in my hand! Always scribbling, creating my own books, writing, painting and drawing. I’ve illustrated three children’s books and have pursued a career in design professionally, but after suffering chronic pain due to two car accidents, creating is now therapeutic more than anything. An outlet for rage, grief, pain, straying thoughts and visual creations. Without art I know I would be in a much darker place with my chronic pain condition. It has become a lifeboat for me on my worst days and pure joy on my best.
