About Me

Current Mommy of 3, I was born and raised in Ohio, where at 9 I began my art journey and have been creating ever since. My art style consists of surreal tendencies, and ventures down weird, and sometimes creepy routes. To explain this, my works are often created during bouts of emotion; as within those deep wells inspiration often presents itself to me (although not all of my works are as serious). 

I created FIB in the hopes of establishing a safe place for others like myself to empathize with the most human, and sometimes unsightly, springs of our emotions all too commonly experienced in our day-to-day lives. At FIB, “Feeling Is Being.” I believe our humanness should not be rejected but embraced, as no one's perfect; we are all simply trying to be better than we were yesterday. 

It’s okay to be overwhelmed, angry, depressed. Happiness is an ideal we must achieve, not just something handed to us, and it begins with acceptance. 

I hope you enjoy my artworks -my emotional releases- and feel encouraged in some way today, and that you understand that you are not alone in your feelings or dark thoughts, and happiness is undoubtedly savored.

FIB- what does that even mean?

Art became an obsession at a young age.  There was nothing I wanted more in my life than art.  I carried a sketchbook with me everywhere. School, church, home.  It never left my side. I was always drawing. * Being an artist served two purposes: It gave me a safe place to work out my thoughts (I hid behind it- and behind my sketchbook)  It drew people to me Somewhere to hide that also attracted people... Seems ironic, surely.  But making friends was (and still is) hard for me.  Back then, I didn't think much of myself or my personality (luckily this has changed a bit). Yet with art, I could at the very least say I was an artist, and be interesting because of it.  If someone was interested in my work, I figured they'd be someone I could get along with because we shared similar interests.  It was a decent way to make friends.  Pretty smart for a nine-year-old.  * The reason I bring this up, is because I think there's something about ourselves that we all like.  Whether it be

Music On The Square

Vendor events are quite scary to be a part of.  At least at first. Music On The Square in New Philadelphia was my third vendor event in the last two years, and I had a great time.  But the initial fear was still there.  Until I met my vendor neighbor. His name was Joey.  He was friendly and I enjoyed talking with him, and he helped me relax.  * Setting up was a fairly easy process this time.  I was running late initially, but was lucky enough to find a parking spot close to my vendor area so unloading was easy, and Joey was nice enough to help out.  Setup was easier this time around as well. I didn't bring everything with me.  By "everything" I mean the paintings I have hung up at the Artisans on Canal shop in Bolivar, OH.  My cars a bit too small to handle a 2' x 4' painting safely. 😅 But I still had plenty to show.  The event was from 3pm-10pm, so I took an old painting I had stuffed in my closet and worked on it to help the hours pass by.        I figured 7 h
