Meet My Family
The Heart Behind the Art
To me, there is nothing more important than my family. I am incredibly fortunate to have a supportive husband who keeps our little girl entertained while I focus on my work in the studio. Our daughter is quite the firecracker, with a unique personality that adds so much joy to our lives. Whenever life gets tough, spending time with my loved ones is what keeps me motivated and moving forward. They are my anchor and my inspiration.
