We’re here to talk about you… can we be friends?

Why does it matter?

Art is an investment.

It is a treasure that is personal to you. It is something you plan to keep forever.

It is emotion captured and made tangible.

It reflects what you cherish most.

Before you invest with anyone you should know who you’re working with.

I want to learn what is most important to YOU.

Before we exchange money, let’s exchange ideas and if the vibe is good, let’s make art!

A few random facts about me:

  • I am obsessed with glitter and everything that sparkles.

  • I am neuro-spicy and consider sarcasm a fine art.

  • I appreciate honesty and integrity above everything else.

  • I am a bona fide crazy cat lady.

  • I own every Friends season on DVD (and can quote most of them!)

  • I’ll never be “done” learning new things.

  • I’m inspired by nature, especially water and the night sky.
